How to Make Shabbat Mandarin Marble Loaf Jewish

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 10-inch tube pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. **Make the chocolate paste:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1/4 cup warm vegetable oil until smooth. Add a teaspoon or two of oil more if needed to reach a pourable consistency.
  3. Set aside.
  4. **Make the cake batter:** In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup vegetable oil and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, and the zest of 1 large orange.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Remove 1/3 of the batter and place it in a smaller bowl. Stir in the chocolate paste and 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips.
  8. Spoon alternating portions of the white and chocolate batter into the prepared pan.
  9. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is lightly browned.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely (another 20-30 minutes).
  11. **Make the orange glaze:** In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar and 2-4 tablespoons orange juice until you reach a thick, pourable consistency.
  12. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
  13. Garnish with long shreds of orange zest, if desired.
