I got this recipe from a cousin, with whom I swap recipes all the time. It’s become a family favorite.

YIELDS 1 11X16-INCH (28X40-CM) PAN

• 12 eggs, separated
• 3 cups sugar, divided
• 1 cup oil
• 1 packet vanilla sugar
• ½ cup seltzer
• ⅓ cup lemon juice
• pinch salt
• 3 tsp baking powder
• 4 cups flour

Marble Mixture

• ¾ cup cocoa powder
• 1½ cups confectioners’ sugar
• ⅓ cup oil
• ⅓ cup hot water

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Beat egg whites with 2 cups sugar. Lower mixer speed to the lowest setting. Add the rest of ingredients in the order listed. Mix in flour until incorporated. 

Pour the entire batter into an 11×16-inch (28×40-cm) baking pan.

Add the marble mixture ingredients to the mixing bowl (no need to rinse the mixer bowl first). Mix on low speed. Pour over the white batter in the pan and marbleize with a fork.
