This cake tasted great.Was soft and had great texture.Inspite of using just oil and the absence of butter/vanilla the flavor was right on.Reminded me of the lovely marble cake from my hometown.The only change I made was to use a little over 1/3rd cup semi-sweet choclate chips(melted in microwave and mixed with 2 tbs oil) instead of cocoa. This did not affect the taste at all and saved me time. But next time I will definitely add more to make it more chocolatey.I did not add the orange zest or glaze.Instead I used the chocolate hard glaze from this site.Mmmm...Even though this recipe deserves 5 stars I gave it only 4 'coz I had difficulty getting it out of the pan.Make sure to grease your pan just to be safe.
