| Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Add the sugar to the yolks and stir. To this add the oil and water Add baking powder to the flour and then sift this into the yolk mixture, stirring to make a smooth batter. Keep stirring until the batter is smooth and free from bubbles. Beat the whites and when stiff fold into the batter. Oil the baking pan and line with paper. Pour in about half the batter. To 1/4 of the remaining batter add cocoa or chocolate, which has been dissolved with some sugar and warm water until smooth. Pour this chocolate batter evenly over the white portion already in the pan. Over the chocolate pour the remaining 1/4 white batter. Marbelize by dipping and dragging a knife through the layers. Bake about 45 minutes in a moderate oven (325°F.) Yetta cooked with the "gis and shit" method, which translated from Yiddish is "pinch and pour." She never measured, so Jean would literally catch the ingredients on the way to the bowl in order to record the recipe. |
