Preparation

Step 1

Sift together the dry ingredients.
Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add in order the salad oil, egg yolks, water, and vanilla.
Beat until satin smooth.
In a large bowl, beat 7 egg whites with 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
Pour egg yolk mixture in a thin stream over the entire surface of the egg whites, gently folding to blend.
Remove 1/3 of batter to a separate bowl.
Blend boiling water, sugar, and chocolate and gently fold into the reserved 1/3 of the batter.
Spoon half of the light batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan; top with half the chocolate batter. Repeat layers.
With narrow spatula, swirl gently through batters to marble.
Bake in 325 F oven for about 55 minutes.
Invert cake in pan and cool.
