- 4. Spray or butter a 12 cup tube pan, and dust with flour. Use 2 separate spoons, one for the chocolate batter, and the other for the yellow batter. Now spoon one spoon of each into prepared cake pan, alternating the colors as you go around the entire pan. In next layer, add chocolate on top of yellow batter in pan, and add yellow on top of the chocolate batter, until you have used all of the batter. Smooth out the top of cake batter, and place in preheated oven and bake for 90 minutes.

Tips:
- To achieve the perfect marbling effect, pour the chocolate batter into the sour cream batter in a circular motion, creating swirls.
- Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix only until the ingredients are well combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven to ensure even cooking and prevent the cake from sinking in the center.
- Once the cake is baked, allow it to cool completely before frosting. This will prevent the frosting from melting and seeping into the cake.
- When making the frosting, beat the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. This will create a smooth and creamy frosting that is easy to spread.
- Add the powdered sugar gradually to the frosting, beating well after each addition. This will prevent the frosting from becoming lumpy.
- For a richer frosting, use dark chocolate in place of semi-sweet chocolate.
