Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 cups sifted cake flour
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 7 eggs, separated
  • 3/4 cup cold water

Preparation:

Marble cake directions
Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center of dry ingredients; add oil, 7 egg yolks, cold water, and vanilla. Beat until smooth. In another bowl, beat the 7 egg whites until stiff peaks form. Pour egg yolk mixture over the entire surface of egg whites, gently folding in to blend. Remove 1/3 of the batter to another bowl. Blend boiling water, sugar and chocolate; fold into the smaller portion of batter. Spoon half of the light batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan; top with half of the chocolate batter. Repeat layers. With a butter knife or narrow spatula, swirl marble cake batters gently to marbleize. Bake at 325° for 65 minutes. Invert and cool. Frost marble cake with chocolate butter frosting or other frosting.

Wonderful!October 08, 2008By BasketKace
"First, let me reference the previous comment regarding the cream of tartar; cream of tartar isn’t an essential ingredient and is used, mostly, as a flavor additive. It can be added in the first step with the other dry ingredients, or, if preferred, it can be added to the egg whites just before beating. I followed the recipe almost exactly. I added a small amount of extra sugar to the chocolate batter. I prefer a slightly sweeter chocolate than the instructions produced. The cake turned out very nicely. It was light and fluffy and incredibly tasty; however the chocolate batter, being a bit heavier, did sink to the bottom just a bit. Aside from the layering, the cake turned out perfectly! I cut mine in half and spread a butter cream and walnut frosting on the top of one and then topped that with the other half of the cake. After that, I frosted the whole thing with a cream cheese frosting. It was delectable!"
