Ingredients:

  • 80ml (5 tbsp) milk
  • 60ml (1/5 cup) vegetable oil
  • 70g (1/2 cup) flour
  • 10g (1 1/4 tbsp) cocoa powder
  • 4 egg whites
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 70g (1/3 cup) sugar
  • 1/3 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • Chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Batter:
    • In a bowl, combine milk, oil, flour, and egg yolks. Split the mixture into two portions and add cocoa powder to one portion, creating a dark batter.
  2. Whip Egg Whites:
    • In another bowl, beat egg whites with salt, lemon juice, and sugar until stiff peaks form.
  3. Divide Mixtures:
    • Divide both the white and dark mixtures into two portions each.
  4. Layering:
    • Transfer the batters into a baking pan, starting with the dark mixture as the base layer. Alternate with the white mixture, creating a marbled effect. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
  5. Baking:
    • Place the pan in an oven preheated to 170°C (340°F) with a tray of hot water. Bake for approximately 1 hour until the cake is set and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.

Tips:

  • Ensure the egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks for a light, fluffy cake texture.
  • Create varying marble effects by swirling the batters with a knife before baking.
  • Adjust sweetness by altering the amount of sugar or using dark chocolate chips.
  • Allow the cake to cool before slicing for cleaner cuts and enhanced flavor.
