• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 cup orange juice
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, depending on the contrast you desire in your cake (you can add less (or more)
• 1 orange, zest of (optional)

Recipe

• 1 note: my original recipe used less baking powder and i found that it didn't rise very much,so i increased the amount of baking powder.
• 2 in a medium bowl ,whisk the eggs with the sugar,sour cream,oil,and orange juice.add orange zest at this point if using any.
• 3 in a separate bowl ,sift the flour and baking powder and gently mix together to evenly incorporate the baking powder into the flour.
• 4 slowly add the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until everything is combined.
• 5 next, pour half of the batter into a separate bowl and add cocoa powder to it.if the cocoa mixture has a thicker consistency,then you can add a little bit of orange juice to thin it out.
• 6 lightly grease a 9 inch round or square cake pan and pour the batter interchangeably to get a marble or swirl effect.this is where you can get creative.
• 7 bake at 350 degrees f for 40 minutes or until tester comes out clean.
