- 0.25 cup Orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan or an 8-inch square cake pan.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, sift together the matzo cake meal and potato starch. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Gradually add the vegetable oil, orange juice, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, mixing until well combined.
Step 5
Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until a smooth batter forms.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the cocoa powder and water together to form a smooth chocolate paste.
Step 7
Divide the batter into two portions. Stir the cocoa paste into one portion to create the chocolate batter.
Step 8
In the prepared pan, alternate spoonfuls of the plain and chocolate batters, creating layers.
Step 9
Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl through the batters in the pan to create a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 10
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 11
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
