Specialty Recipe

Mom's Orange Chocolate
Marble Cake

Ingredients:

2 cups cake flour

2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup shortening

1-1/4 cups sugar

3 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

3/4 cup milk

1 square unsweetened chocolate (1 ounce)

1 Tablespoon grated orange rind

Sift flour. Measure. Add baking powder and salt. Sift again. Cream shortening; add sugar gradually and cream together until light and fluffy. Add unbeaten eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Add vanilla. Add dry ingredients alternately with the milk, stirring only enough after each addition to blend thoroughly. Do not beat. Divide batter in half; to one half add unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled; to other half add the orange rind. Stir until evenly blended. Spoon the batter into a greased bundt pan, alternating orange and chocolate batter. Bake in moderate oven 350 degrees about 1 hour. When cool, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
