This is a delicious yellow cake with chocolate swirls. Cook time just depends on your oven, but 25 would be about average. Great for groups of folks because some like chocolate, some like yellow, and some like both!

I made this cake but I doubled the recipe to make a larger cake. It was very good except it was just slightly drier than I wanted. I may have overcooked slightly but not sure. I was wondering if when doubling the recipe I needed to adjust something a little differently such as the baking poweder or something. I read something about that somewhere but not sure how to calculate. I want to use this for a wedding cake but don't want it to be too dry. Any ideas?
