  • 1 cup water
  • 2 1/2 lbs flour
  • 1 cup oil
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 Tbs salt
  • liquid marble(or take recipe from babke recipes)
  • egg for egg wash

Preparation

Step 1

Dissolve yeast in a bowl of warm water. Add half the flour to the mix and mix well.
cover well with plastic wrap,and then lit rise until double in size.
Meanwhile mix the oil and sugar well.
Add the eggs and vanilla
When the yeast mixture doubles in size add it to the rest of the dough.Add the rest of the flour and the salt. Mix well in a standing mixer with a dough hook,you can add some more flour if the dough is too sticky. Mix for about 8 min after the dough comes all together,put it onto a floured sheet pan.Cover well with plastic wrap and leave in the fridge until it is cool,around one hr. Divide dough into three. (it should roll nicely),roll each into a long wide rectangle.
Pour liquid marble all over the surface(should take around a whole container of store bought marble to fill the cake) Preheat oven to 350. Roll it up jelly roll style.
make long deep slices on the top so the inside can bake.Brush with egg wash for a nice shine. Bake for at least 30 min or until nice and golden and you are sure it is well baked inside.
when it comes out of the oven,pull it out and use a flat pan to press the kokosh cake down,to make the the cake nice and gooey.
You can brush egg white and sugar on top of the hot cake so it will be left with a nice sticky shine on the top.
