2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup flaked coconut
1 1/2 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted (1 1/2 ounces)

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
Combine eggs and sugar; beat at medium speed of an electric mixer until thick and lemon-colored. Add oil and flour mixture; beat just until blended.

Combine coconut and 1/2 cup batter; set aside. Stir chocolate into remaining batter. Pour chocolate mixture into a greased and floured 8-inch square pan. Dollop coconut mixture on top. Swirl with a knife or narrow metal spatula to give a marbled look. Bake at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack; cut into bars.

Makes 16 bars.
