Melt 1 tablespoon shortening and unsweetened chocolate in a
small saucepan, stirring until smooth. Set aside. Cream

mixture, beating well at medium speed of an electric mixer.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.
Dissolve soda in buttermilk. Combine flour and salt; add
to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning
and ending with flour mixture. Mix just until blended
after each addition. Stir in flavorings. Remove 2 cups of
batter, and add chocolate mixture, stirring until blended.
Spoon one-third of remaining plain batter into a greased
and floured 10-inch tube pan; top with half of chocolate
batter. Repeat layers, ending with plain batter. Gently
swirl batter with a knife to create a marble effect. Bake
at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted
in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 to 15 minutes;
remove from pan, and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Yield: one 10-inch cake.
