Marble Cake

• 6 Tbsp. cocoa
• 2 Tbsp. oil
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 cup softened butter
• 2 cups flour
• 3/4 cup evaporated milk
• 3 eggs
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp orange extract
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• confectioners sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9" spring form pan. 

In a small bowl mix the cocoa, oil, 1/4 cup sugar, water, and vanilla.

In a large bowl,  mix 1 cup sugar, and all other ingredients except the chocolate mixture and the powdered sugar. Beat for 5 minutes in a mixer on low. 

Remove 2 1/2 cups of batter. Beat the chocolate mixture into the remaining batter. 

Alternately spoon in chocolate and plain batter into the pan in a checkerboard type pattern. It may take a few layers. 

Use a knife and cut through the batter a few times to marble it together. 

Bake 55-60 minutes (top will crack).

Cool for about 10 minutes before taking out of the pan and sprinkle the top with powdered sugar.
