ZEBRA CAKE
Ingredients needed
Sugar - 1 cup (granulated )
Eggs - 4
Milk - 1 cup (room temperature)
Oil - 1 cup (any flavourless oil)
Vanilla essence -1/2 tsp
All purpose flour/Maida -2 cups
Baking powder -1 tbsp
Cocoa powder -2 tbsp
9 inch round Cake pan
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350F (180C)
Sieve maida with baking powder three time and keep it aside.
Sieve cocoa powder separately if there are any lumps.
Grease and flour a 9-inch (23 cm) cake tin. If you do not have a 9 inch cake pan, you can even use your 9 inch cooker aluminium separator.Grease it and then line it with parchment paper.
Method
Beat the eggs well with an electric hand mixer or wire whisk.
Add sugar and beat until the mixture is creamy.
Add milk + oil + Vanilla essence and mix well.
Fold in maida gently.
Now divide the batter into two equal parts. To one part mix cocoa powder and keep the other part plain. Now we have 2 batter - the vanilla (ie the plain batter) and the cocoa batter.( You can mix cocoa powder with a tbsp of milk and then add it to one half of the batter)
How to bring Zebra strip effect
Now pour 1/4 cup of plain batter in the center of the baking pan.
Then pour 1/4 cup of cocoa batter on top of the vanilla batter in the center.
Do not disturb or try to shake it or wait for it to spread or tilt the pan for it to spread. It will spread by itself. Keep on pouring both the batter alternatively until all the batter is over.
Bake in a pre heated oven for about 40 minutes or until a toothprick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven, loosen the sides of the cake with a knife and invert it on a plate. Leave it to cool.Then you can cut it and enjoy your Zebra cake!
