Prepare the Batter

In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened butter and 2 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in 4 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Add the Chocolate Swirl

Take 1/3 of the prepared batter and place it in a separate bowl. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 4 ounces of dark chocolate. Pour the melted chocolate into the reserved batter and gently fold it in until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a loss of the marbling effect.

Create the Marble Effect

Grease and flour a Bundt pan. Pour half of the plain batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Spoon dollops of the chocolate batter on top of the plain batter. Using a skewer or a knife, gently swirl the two batters together to create a marble effect. Repeat with the remaining plain and chocolate batters.
