Zebra Cake Recipe

Step by step: Zebra Cake Recipe

• Step1

  Line a 24 cm (10 inch) cake pan with parchment paper and brush with butter.

• Step2

  Sift together 250 grams (9 oz) of flour and 5 grams (1 teaspoon) of baking powder.

• Step3

  Add a pinch of salt and 250 grams (9 oz) of granulated sugar. In a separate bowl, mix 3 eggs, a teaspoon of vanilla extract, 150 ml (5 fl oz) of milk and 150 grams (5 oz) of melted butter.

• Step4

  Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix using a whisk just until combined. It takes less than a minute to mix the batter.

• Step5

  Remove 1/3 of the cake batter and place in a separate bowl. Add 25 grams (1 oz) of cocoa powder and 30 ml (1 fl oz) of milk. Mix just until combined.

• Step6

  Pour one ladle of the vanilla batter into the center of the cake pan. Use a small ladle or an ice cream scoop to pour the chocolate batter in the center of the vanilla batter, and continue until you’ve used up all your batter.

• Step7

  Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 35-40 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.

• Step8

  Remove from the oven, cool slightly, unmold, invert, remove the parchment paper and cool completely on a rack.

• Step9

  Serve as is with tea or coffee. We love baking marbled cakes, they are beautiful and easy to make. Visit our website to find a chocolate marble pound cake.
