Babka (Polish Marble Cake) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    cooking spray
    1 tablespoon bread crumbs
    4 eggs, separated
    1 cup confectioners' sugar
    1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
    1/4 cup margarine
    1 cup almond flour
    1 cup rye flour
    1 tablespoon baking powder
    3/4 cup warm milk, divided
    2/3 cup raisins
    2 teaspoons cocoa powder
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt(R)) with cooking spray and coat with bread crumbs.
    Combine egg yolks, confectioners' sugar, applesauce, and margarine in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Mix in almond flour, rye flour, and baking powder slowly. Stir in all but 2 tablespoons of the milk into the batter.
    Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold egg whites into the batter. Fold in raisins.
    Pour most of the batter into the prepared pan, reserving 3/4 cup batter in the bowl. Add reserved 2 tablespoons milk and cocoa powder to the bowl; stir until smooth. Drizzle over the batter in the pan. Trace over the batter with a spatula to create a marbled effect.
    Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.
