How to Make Marbled Chocolate Orange Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch square baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, and 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice.
- Add 1 tablespoon orange zest (optional) and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, sift together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter in half. In one bowl, whisk in 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. If the cocoa mixture is too thick, add 1-2 teaspoons of orange juice to thin it out.
- Pour spoonfuls of the plain and chocolate batters alternately into the prepared pan, creating a marbled effect. You can swirl the batters gently with a knife or toothpick for a more dramatic marble.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving.
