Notes
- Our family loves using more chocolate chips...as long as we can resist eating them while mixing up the batter
- Softened cream cheese must be used to mix well with the sugar and swirl well into the cake batter
- Marbling will not be exact and the recipe never looks exactly the same twice
- Take care to mix cream cheese mixture as close to the edges as possible
- We prefer a 15 x 10 x 1-inch, but a 9 x 13-inch pan can be used
