Stevia lowers calories, while brown sugar adds moisture.

Preheat the oven to a low temperature for the water-bath method.

Prepare a baking pan by lining it with parchment paper.

In a bowl, whisk together the egg whites until they are fluffy and form peaks.

Gradually add sugar to the egg whites, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.

Fold in the other ingredients to create the batter, ensuring a light and airy texture.

Divide the batter and mix cocoa powder into one half for marbling.

Spoon alternating dollops of the two batters into the prepared pan.

Use a skewer to swirl the batters together for a marbled effect.

Bake in a water bath until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool before slicing.
