Find out from this recipe all the secrets to an extraordinarily soft, fluffy, aromatic and wonderfully colored cocoa cake! It's easy to make and you don't even need a mixer to make it!
This marbled cocoa cake has an intense citrus flavor because fresh orange juice is the star ingredient in this recipe.
I have also used orange juice as an ingredient in the fasting cake recipe, but also in the Moldovan fasting martyrs. Each time it brought a lot of flavor and a nice color to the dough.

🔪 Preparation
1. In a bowl put: 500 ml of orange juice, vinegar and bicarbonate. Stir.
2. Then add the oil, grated orange peel, turmeric, salt and sugar and mix again.
3. In another bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder and incorporate them little by little into the liquid ingredients, mixing continuously with a hand whisk so that no lumps form.
4. Pour ¾ of the batter into an oiled cake pan or lined with baking paper. Sprinkle over the (unhydrated) raisins and toss with a fork to distribute into the batter.
5. Mix the cocoa powder with 50 ml of orange juice until you get a paste. Pour the mixture over the remaining dough in the bowl, add the almonds and mix.
6. Pour the cocoa batter into the pan and mix with a fork to mix the 2 colors and get a marbled cake. Sprinkle the almond flakes on top.
7. Bake the cake in the oven preheated to 170 degrees (static) for about 50-55 minutes. Do the toothpick test to make sure it's cooked inside.
8. Let it cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack. Dust with sugar and slice the cake after it cools down.
