- Combine cake mix, water, eggs and oil in large bowl. Beat with electric mixer at low speed 30 seconds or until just blended. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed or until well blended. Reserve 1-3/4 cups batter. Add cocoa to remaining batter; stir until well blended.
- Divide chocolate batter evenly between 2 prepared pans. Divide reserved plain batter evenly between remaining 2 prepared pans.
