### Ingredients for each color layer

- 5 egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons of sugar
- 3 tablespoons of oil
- 3 tablespoons of flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

#### White layer:
- 5 whole eggs
- 6 tablespoons of sugar
- 6 tablespoons of oil
- 7 tablespoons of flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
- Grated zest of one lemon

#### Cocoa layer:
- 1 tablespoon of cocoa
- Remaining ingredients from the white layer

### Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by preparing all your ingredients. Make sure the eggs are at room temperature for better incorporation. This will yield a fluffier cake.

2. Preparing the yellow layer: In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with the 3 tablespoons of sugar until frothy. Add the oil and mix well. Incorporate the flour and baking powder, mixing gently. This layer will add a soft texture and delicate flavor.

3. Preparing the white layer: In another bowl, beat the whole eggs with the 6 tablespoons of sugar until frothy. Add the oil, vanilla essence, and lemon zest. Mix well, then incorporate the flour and baking powder. This mixture will be the delicious base of the cake.

4. Preparing the cocoa layer: Take the white mixture and divide it in half, reserving one half for the cocoa layer. In one half, add 1 tablespoon of cocoa and mix gently until evenly combined.

5. Assembling the cake: In a greased loaf pan or lined with parchment paper, start pouring the mixtures layer by layer. First, add the yellow layer, followed by the white, and then the cocoa layer. You can use a fork to create a zigzag pattern between the layers, giving the cake an artistic appearance.

6. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Bake the cake for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. Cooling and serving: Once the cake is baked, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack. You can dust it with powdered sugar for an elegant look.

### Practical tips
