Ingredients

Cake

  • 7 eggs, separated

  • 1 and 1/2 cups sugar

  • pinch of salt

  • 1/2 cup oil

  • 3/4 cup water

Chocolate Filling

  • 1/4 cup boiling water

Directions

Prepare the Batter

1.

Beat egg whites until stuff. Add sugar and beat until peaks form.

2.

Gradually add remaining ingredients, alternating dry ingredients with liquids.

3.

Chocolate filling: Combine all ingredients and mix with half of batter.

For Zebra Effect

1.

Prepare a separate ladle for each bowl.

2.

Pour a ladle full of chocolate batter into center of a greased 10-inch round baking pan.

3.

Pour a ladle of white batter directly over chocolate batter.

4.

Continue alternating ladles full of chocolate and white batter until all batter is used. This will give the zebra-striped effect.

5.

Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour.

Variation:

For thinner stripes, use tablespoons instead of ladles.

For Marble Effect

1.

Pour light batter into pan.

2.

Pour chocolate batter over light. Swirl with fork to create marble effect. Proceed as above.

Confused about what to do with the egg yolks after we’ve beaten the white, doesn’t mention the yolks…

In step 2 when it says ‘gradually add the remaining ingredients’ you would add the egg yolks then.
