Ok, so I tried to make the WASC chocolate version with chocolate mix and 6 whole eggs instead of the egg whites BUT it wasn't very chocolate.

I'm thinking maybe adding espresso to kick up the flavor?

any thoughts?

I substitute 1/2 c cocoa for the flour and add 2 tsp instant coffee into the water, it tastes great!

When I made WASC with chocolate the first time I used a milk chocolate cake and it was also not so chocolate the next time I used a richer chocolate I think it was a double chocolate fudge or something like this I have also used it with a devils food.

When I do chocolate WASC I also substitute 1/2 c cocoa for the flour, eliminate the vanilla and use only almond extract, and add 1 cup of mini choc chips. Very dense, VERY chocolate .

that's another thing that I forgot, I used 4 tsp of vanilla....do I keep that all vanilla or use something else?

When I do regular WASC, I use 2T Almond and 2T Vanilla. For Choc WASC, I do 2T Almond and leave it at that. Almond and Choc pair well together, but I want the chocolate to come through.

I have an 8 inch marble cake to make and was going to do the WASC. Do you think I could make up the batter, divide it, and then add something to the other half to make it chocolaty? Any ideas? Thanks!

Anyone??

So, do you still use 1/2 cup of flour when replacing the cocoa? Or just the 1/2 cup of cocoa?

Not sure about the marbeling idea. I use WASC recipe for everything, many times modifying it with only vanilla or other extracts. Did a coconut and lemon with those extracts, they were yummy!!

I have added chocolate syrup to batter for marbling. Maybe 1/4 cup at the most.

hallfamily727.... I don't have the direct link but there is a WASC cake recipe on www.recipezaar.com that gives the following marble cake version. HTH:

Marble Cake Poundcake by Squirrelly Cakes

Follow box instructions but add 1 package, 4 serving size, of instant pudding - I use vanilla, use 3 tbsp. oil, reduce water called for by 1/4 cup or use that amount in milk, use an additional egg than what is called for on box.
Follow baking instructions per box.

When you don't have a Marble Mix but have a yellow mix, you can turn it into a Marble Mix easily by following the above but with the Yellow mix and reserving 1 cup of your batter to which you add 1/3 cup cocoa powder and proceed as directed.

I used dark chocolate fudge cake mix when I did a chocolate one, and it was VERY yummy. Substituted butter flavoring for the almond, kept the regular vanilla... incredibly dense, moist, and all around wonderful.
