Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour one 13x9 inch cake pan.

Combine 1 cup of the batter and the melted cooled chocolate, mix well.
Alternate spooning the light and the dark batters into the prepared 13x9 cake pan. Cut through with a knife to marble. Sprinkle top with the reserved nut mixture.
