Zebra cake is a combination of vanilla and chocolate cakes and the pattern is got by pouring the batters in a pan alternately. I have been trying to get the perfect zebra pattern but I am very sad that I have not yet succeeded. Actually I wanted more of the vanilla batter and less of the chocolate batter so that the lines are clean and neat. So I divided the batter into 3 parts, one for the chocolate batter and 2 for the vanilla batter. Even then I ended up with this not so good looking zebra cake. Though I missed the pattern, the taste was awesome and my daughter fell for this cake. She was so happy that mom has finally made it. This is the final post for the Blogging Marathon # 32, under cooking with alphabets and bakes theme. Finally I am so happy that I have completed this marathon successfully and I need to thank Srivalli for this wonderful idea. The cake batter is my usual condensed milk vanilla cake batter. Once when I prepared this cake the chocolate was looking very dull. I couldn’t understand why it was happening. And one day I tried a chocolate cake with instant coffee powder added to it and the cake came out so dark and chocolatey. And this time I added a teaspoon of Nescafe instant coffee powder and look at the colour of the chocolate portion. It is nice and dark and very very chocolatey..

Hi Mdm Gayathri
I would like to have recipe for Zebra Chocolate cake…I want to get it from Ebook Delicious Egg Free Cake from amazon but
they mentioned not available in my country here (Malaysia). Any other way can I get the recipe mdm? pls advise on this
Try amazon which is available in your place. My book is all over amazon. So you might get it.
Hi Gayathri..
What to do if power goes off in between?
Like if my cake baked only for 5-10 minutes and the power s gone.
You can bake the remaining in pressure cooker/ pan
Thanks..
