Marble cake is a classic, basic cake that graces many tables on Shabbos and Yom Tov. I wanted to take it up a notch, so I created this zebra version, and added cinnamon to the cocoa (hence the name) because I’m a big cinnamon fan. I also added cinnamon to the topping. Do not feel pressured to add the crumb or the glaze because it looks and tastes elegant and delicious as is.
5 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons real maple syrup
1 cup oil
3/4 cup soy milk
1/2 cup good-quality orange juice
1 and 1/2 teaspoons Gefen Vanilla Extract
2 and 1/4 cups Glicks Flour
1/4 cup almond flour (ground blanched almonds)
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons Gefen Cocoa
1 tablespoons cinnamon
1/2 cup cookie crumbs
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup blanched almond chips
1 and 1/2 tablespoons oil
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 tablespoon Gefen Honey
1 tablespoon soy milk (or parve whipping cream for a whiter glaze)
1/2 cup Gefen Confectioners’ Sugar
1/2 teaspoon oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
Beat eggs, sugar, maple syrup, and oil in a mixer until light and lemon-colored.
Pour half of batter (about 3 and 1/2–3 and 3/4 cups) into a bowl. Add cocoa and cinnamon to remaining batter and mix well.
To achieve the zebra effect: Work quickly and neatly. Prepare two measuring cups of 1/3 cup each. Prepare a large (at least 10 cup) square or round baking pan with a removable bottom (not a tube pan). Spray with oil spray if it’s not nonstick. Starting with the white batter, pour 1/3 cup in the center of the pan. Pour 1/3 cup brown batter in the center of the white batter. It’s important to continue alternating the batters and pouring directly in the center of the one before. You will see concentric circles forming and filling your pan.
When all the batter is finished, place in oven and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely before removing from pan.
Pour soy milk and orange juice into a 2-cup measuring cup and set aside.
Add vanilla to egg mixture. Add dry ingredients, aside from cocoa and cinnamon, alternately with soy milk/orange juice, and mix well.
Mix together all ingredients in a small bowl until a moist, sand-like texture is achieved. Sprinkle evenly over cake.
Bake as above. Cool completely before glazing.
Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Using a teaspoon, drizzle lightly over cake.

Hi Raizy.
It would totally depend on how dense the chocolate part of your marble cake recipe is.
