Green and yellow marble cake.
Dark pans and pans with nonstick coating absorb heat faster than shiny pans and can cause cakes to brown too quickly.
I usually pour a cup or so of the yellow in one spot and then a cup or so of the choc on top of that.
Sounds weird especially since i always thought marble cake was just a mix of yellow and choc cake.

The chocolate batter is made from the yellow batter.
Allow the pans to cool for 10 minutes then run an offset spatula around perimeter of the pan to separate the cake from the pan.
The only way i have ever done it is to make a yellow cake mix and a chocolate and just swirl them together in the pan so that it is mixed together a little.

To make marble cake pour a box of yellow or white cake mix into a bowl and beat it with the sugar salt eggs vanilla fats milk and water for 2 minutes then stir in the flour.
Next time i will use salted butter again just not so much of it and double the salt add a little extra vanilla and no extra sugar.
It makes more batter has contains more butter and uses buttermilk for a softer crumb.
