the almond extract.

6. Put about 1 One half cups of the batter into a small bowl. Stir in the
melted chocolate until well blended.

7. Alternately put large spoonfuls of white and chocolate batter into the
prepared pan. Swirl gently with a thin knife to marbleize the batter
slightly. Tap the pan on the countertop to remove any air bubbles.
