  Recipe by: Gottlieb's Bakery (Savannah, Georgia)
  Preparation Time: 1:00
  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour an 8 1/2 X
  4 1/2 inch loaf pan. Cream sugr, shortening and almond
  paste until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks. Sift
  flour, baking powder and salt together. Add to creamed
  mixture alternately with milk, starting and ending with
  flour. Add vanilla extract. Beat until smooth. Beat egg
  whites until they form soft peaks. Gradually beat in 3
  tablespoons sugar. Beat until egg whites are stiff but not
  dry. Beat 1/4 of the egg whites into batter. Fold batter
  into remaining egg whites being careful not to overmix.
  Remove 1/2 cup batter and mix well with the cocoa.
  Pour plain batter into prepared pan. Spoon chocolate batter
  on top in blobs and marbleize with a knife or spatula.
  Sprinkle with almonds. Bake for 45 minutes, or until golden
  brown and cake shrinks from sides of pan. Cool on wire rack
  before turning out.  I was looking at a cookbook from a 100
  year old Savannah, Georgia Jewish bakery called Gottlieb's
  and I found this recipe. Nancy Berry
