Cake Zebra

Before starting cooking, remove all food from the refrigerator so that it is at room temperature. This will make the biscuit airy. Melt a piece of butter in a water bath and let it cool completely.

Sift flour with baking powder and vanilla into a bowl. Add a little salt so that the dough is not fresh.

Break the eggs into another bowl. Add sugar and mix the mixture with a whisk.

Pour the cooled melted butter over the eggs. Our Zebra cake with sour cream, transfer the rich sour cream to a bowl. Mix the mixture again until smooth.

Pour the egg mixture into the sifted flour. Actively mix the dough until the lumps disappear. The consistency of the dough should resemble thick sour cream.

Divide the entire dough into 2 parts. Add cocoa powder to one of them and mix well. Each bowl should yield approximately 450 g of dough.

Let's move on to choosing a cake pan. It is advisable to use a round shape. You can take either a springform pan or rings, or a silicone baking pan. Grease the bottom and sides of the mold with oil. We begin to place the dough 1 tablespoon at a time in the center of the mold, alternating the dough.

Continue adding all the batter until the entire pan is filled. The lower layers will begin to spread, forming characteristic stripes.

You can make a pattern on the cupcake with a toothpick by swiping it several times from the center to the edges. The motion should resemble cutting a cupcake into 8 equal pieces. And then swipe the toothpick 8 more times in the opposite direction. Now put the Zebra cake in the oven for 35 minutes at 200 degrees.

After cooling, remove the cake from the mold. Divide it into portions and serve with a hot drink. Baked goods can be decorated with seasonal berries. Help yourself with us!
