Chocolate Coffee Marble Cake Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups sifted cake flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
7 eggs, separated
3/4 cup cold water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 cup boiling water
2 tablespoons sugar
2 squares (2 ounces) unsweetened chocolate, melted
1 tablespoon Dunkin’ Donuts Vanilla coffee, brewed strong

Chocolate Coffee Frosting Ingredients:
1 pound confectioner’s sugar (powdered sugar)
4 tablespoons cocoa
6 tablespoons boiling coffee
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Chocolate Coffee Marble Cake Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Make a well in the center and add oil, 7 egg yolks, 3/4 cup cold water, and vanilla.
Beat until smooth.
In another bowl, beat the 7 egg whites with the cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
Pour the egg yolk mixture over the entire surface of egg whites, gently folding in to blend.
Remove 1/3 of the batter to another bowl.
Blend boiling water, sugar, chocolate and coffee and fold into the 1/3 portion of batter.
Spoon half of the light batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan; top with half of the chocolate-coffee batter. Repeat layers.
With a butter knife or narrow spatula, swirl marble cake batters gently to marbleize. Don't overdo or you'll have a brown batter instead of the desired marbleized effect.
Bake at 325 degrees F for an hour to 65 minutes. Test for doneness with a toothpick.
Remove the pan from the oven, invert and allow to cool.
