Instructions: Move the oven rack to lowest position. Heat oven to 375* Mix cake as directed on package. Measure 4 cups batter into a separate bowl; sift cocoa gradually over this batter, folding until well blended, being careful not to deflate the batter. Alternately spoon plain and chocolate batters into an ungreased 10 inch tube pan. Bake 30 - 35 minutes or until top crust is firm and looks very dry. Do NOT underbake. Invert pan on a heat-proff funnel or bottle; cool completely, at least 1 1/2 hours. Carefully run knife along side of pan to loosen cake; remove from pan. Place on serving plate; drizzle with chocolate glaze.
