making marble cake with a white cake mix - how much cocoa to add?

Anyone ever make a marble cake with White cake mix?  I need to bake one tomorrow.  I was wondering how much cocoa to use with how much set aside batter?

 

I have some semi sweet baking squares I could use instead of or in addition to cocoa powder. I thought about just melting a block or two and adding it to a cup or so of batter.

 

Any thoughts/ideas are appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Either or would work - start off with about 1/3 C of cocoa or the equivalent and taste. If the colour and flavour is to your liking you're in good shape, otherwise, you can just add more until you get the taste and colour just right. Hope that helps!
CC you may have to adjust the liquid because the cocoa acts like flour and will absorb moisture. I would add only one square of chocolate to a cup of batter and maybe a tbsp of cocoa if that.....
