My lovely sister Holly shares my crazy love for baking. She loves baking cakes and trying new cake recipes. Both of us jump at any chance to get to bake. When we found out that her boyfriends roommate's birthday was in the near future, we decided we had to make him a cake. Well we had a few weeks from when we found this out until we actually made it, and I admit I look at food blogs daily. So when I found this cake on annies-eats, I knew we had to try it! So we decided to try out this totally awesome zebra cake for this birthday. We were a little worried that it wouldn't turn out, but it turned out awesome!
Ingredients:
4 eggs
1 c sugar
1 c milk
1 c vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 c all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
¼ tsp. salt
2 ½ tbsp cocoa powder
How to put it all together:
Set the oven to 350. Generously grease a 9-in round cake pan.
In a large bowl, mix eggs and sugar until mixture is light and creamy and the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the mile, vegetable oil, and vanilla. In a med bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to wet ingredients and whisk to combine. Measure just over 2c vanilla batter and put it back into the other bowl. Add cocoa powder to the bowl and whisk until Incorporated.
Put 3 tbsp of vanilla batter into the center of the pan and let it spread on its own. Put 3 tbsp chocolate batter in the center of the vanilla and let spread. Continue alternating adding batter until all the batter is used.
Bake 38-42min, until the cake is light gold and a tester comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 10-15min then turn out and let cool completely on a wire rack. Frost if desired.
And of course...ENJOY!
