Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 Eggs; separated
2 cups Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla
¾ cup Oil
1 cup Orange juice or water or milk; (I always make it with Tropicana - it's definitely best with orange juice)
2 cups Flour
3 teaspoons Baking powder
¼ teaspoon Salt
2 ounces (squares)semisweet chocolate; melted
2 tablespoons Butter; melted
1 pint Whipping cream
1 cup Icing sugar
½ cup Cocoa powder

Directions

FROSTING

Source: Second Helpings (Edited by Norene Gilletz - my favorite cookbook author!) (Time consuming, but worth it!) Beat egg yolks with sugar and vanilla until light. Beat in oil. Combine dry ingredients and add to the mixture alternating with the orange juice. Beat egg whites until stiff. Fold into batter. Remove ½ of batter and fold in butter/chocolate (melted together and cooled). Pour batters (alternating chocolate and vanilla) into a lightly greased tube pan. Cut through with a knife to swirl.

Bake at 350 for 1 hour and 10 minutes (until toothpick is dry).

Cool completely. Cut in half (into two layers). Frost middle, then place top back on, and frost outside. Keep refrigerated.

Chocolate Whipped Cream Frosting: Whip cream to soft peak stage. Add sugar and cocoa (slowly) and continue beating until whipped.
