Can you use chocolate syrup to make a marble cake?

You can't use chocolate syrup to make a marble cake in the traditional way. Here's why:

* Consistency: Chocolate syrup is too thin and runny to properly mix into the batter. It will just sink to the bottom and won't create the marbling effect.

* Flavor: Chocolate syrup is very sweet and has a strong chocolate flavor. It will overwhelm the other flavors in the cake and the marbling will be less noticeable.

* Texture: Chocolate syrup doesn't have the same baking properties as cocoa powder. It won't contribute to the cake's texture.

To make a true marble cake:

1. Use cocoa powder: You need to mix cocoa powder into a portion of the batter to create the darker color for the marbling effect.

2. Use vanilla extract: Vanilla extract will balance out the flavor of the cocoa powder and enhance the overall flavor of the cake.

Here's a tip: You *could* use chocolate syrup as a *topping* for your marble cake, but it won't contribute to the marbling itself.
