• 200ml plant-based milk
• 130g demerara sugar
• 200g gluten-free oat flour
• 50g sweet tapioca starch
• 100ml oil of your choice
• 90g 70% dark chocolate, melted
• 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Meringue:
   • In a stand mixer, beat the egg whites with the demerara sugar until stiff peaks form, creating a meringue. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Batter:
   • In a separate bowl, mix the egg yolks, plant-based milk, oil, oat flour, tapioca starch, and baking powder until well combined.
3. Combine and Marble:
   • Gently fold the batter into the meringue until well incorporated.
   • Separate a portion of this batter and mix it with the melted chocolate.
4. Assemble the Cake:
   • Pour the plain batter into a greased and floured cake pan.
   • Spoon the chocolate batter on top, and use a knife to gently swirl the two batters together, creating a marble effect.
5. Bake:
   • Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Bake the cake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.

Enjoy!
