Directions

Prepare the Batter

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease your pans and set aside.

  2. Beat egg whites until stiff. Add sugars and beat until peaks form.

  3. Gradually add yolks and remaining ingredients.

Prepare Filling I

  1. 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.

  2. Pour one fourth of the light batter into each pan, then pour one fourth of the dark batter over it. Repeat with remaining batter.

Prepare Filling II

  1. Add one cup flour to batter, mix well.

  2. Pour half of the batter into each pan, reserving one-and-a-half cups.

  3. Combine ingredients for filling (including reserved batter), mixing well.

  4. Spread filling onto batter, covering entire batter. Using a fork, swirl (without lifting) to obtain marble effect. Proceed as above.

Prepare Filling III

  1. Add one cup flour to batter, mix well. Pour half of the batter into each pan.

  2. Mix ingredients for filling. Pour over batter and swirl with fork to marbleize.

Bake

  1. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour and 10 minutes.

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??

Rivkie Katz •

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?
