**Updated Recipe** This marble cake really lives up to its name! It’s really perfect! Beating the eggs first allows for a very airy, moist cake. Take your pick from the variety of chocolate filling options to create the perfect marble cake for your family! Yields 2 large tube pans or nine- x 13s.
15 eggs, separated
3 cups sugar
2 tablespoons Gefen Vanilla Sugar
3 and 1/2 cups flour
1 cup oil
1 and 1/2 cups orange juice
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup Gefen Cocoa
1/2 cup flour
3 tablespoons Gefen Cocoa
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons water
1 and 1/2 cups reserved batter
3/4 cup Gefen Cocoa
1 tablespoon coffee
1/2 cup boiling water
1 tablespoon oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease your pans and set aside.
Beat egg whites until stiff. Add sugars and beat until peaks form.
Gradually add yolks and remaining ingredients.
Divide batter in half. Add 1/2 cup flour to one mixture and 1/2 cup cocoa to remaining half and mix each one separately by hand.
Pour one fourth of the light batter into each pan, then pour one fourth of the dark batter over it. Repeat with remaining batter.
Add one cup flour to batter, mix well.
Pour half of the batter into each pan, reserving one-and-a-half cups.
Combine ingredients for filling (including reserved batter), mixing well.
Spread filling onto batter, covering entire batter. Using a fork, swirl (without lifting) to obtain marble effect. Proceed as above.
Add one cup flour to batter, mix well. Pour half of the batter into each pan.
Mix ingredients for filling. Pour over batter and swirl with fork to marbleize.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour and 10 minutes.
Can be topped with a rich chocolate ganache when completely cooled.

why do you need to add a cup of flour before mixing in the filling? is that cup of flour included in the 3.5 cups flour in the cake recipe? cuz its not listed anywhere else
How do I keep the chocolate batter from sinking??
came out great BUT dont forget to mix the marble filling (I made III) with some batter, otherwise it will sink right to the bottom instead of staying spread through the cake.
Came out delicious, BUT…this recipe made two (!) tube pans + another small cake pan! 15 eggs and 3 and half cups of flour barely fit into my mixer bowl and made much more than the tube pan or 9 by 13 it says in the recipe!
The picture shows a bundt..but 15 eggs is usually too big for a bundt..I’m wondering if it’s for 2? Or a cake size foil?
