MARBLED CHOCOLATE ORANGE CAKE

Steps:

• NOTE: My original recipe used less baking powder and I found that it didn't rise very much,so I increased the amount of baking powder.
• In a medium bowl ,whisk the eggs with the sugar,sour cream,oil,and orange juice.Add orange zest at this point if using any.
• In a separate bowl ,sift the flour and baking powder and gently mix together to evenly incorporate the baking powder into the flour.
• Slowly add the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until everything is combined.
• Next, pour half of the batter into a separate bowl and add cocoa powder to it.If the cocoa mixture has a thicker consistency,then you can add a little bit of orange juice to thin it out.
• Lightly grease a 9 inch round or square cake pan and pour the batter interchangeably to get a marble or swirl effect.This is where you can get creative.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes or until tester comes out clean.
