This Post is a Updated One
Zebra cake is a lovely one,because it has lovely black and white lines running along...The cake may look so complicated,but it is not a big deal to make...If I can make it everyone can make it.
I made this cake last weekend for my sister’s friends,they all loved it.I beg you all to try this once.One suggestion that I can give is,after you made the batter if the batter is so thick you could add some more milk to it..The consistency of the batter should be like a dosa batter...
So hope you all give this a try and let me know what you think...
Ingrediants:
Flour-2 cups / 250 gms
Sugar-1 cup / 200 gms
Milk-1 cup / 240 ml / 8 fluid ounces / 1/2 pint
Oil-1 cup / 240 ml / 8 fluid ounces / 1/2 pint
Vanilla Essence-2 tsp
Salt –a pinch
Baking Powder - 1 tblspn
Eggs- 4
Cocoa - 3 tblspn (use good quality)
Baking Pan Size - 9" Round Cake Pan / 23 Cm Round Cake Pan
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180° C (350° F).
Mix together a tsp of cocoa and a tsp of flour together.Prepare a tin by applying Butter on all sides and dusting with flour and cocoa mixture.
In a separate bowl mix together flour and baking powder together.Set this aside.
In a mixing bowl beat together eggs,sugar and vanilla essence till pale and light.Don't make it fluffy.
Add in milk,salt,oil and mix well.Fold in flour mixture slowly.
Take half of the batter in to another bowl and mix in cocoa.
Now take the tin and pour 2 tblspn of white batter,next in with cocoa batter and repeat this step till the batter is finished.
Bake it in the oven for 45-50 min or until the cake is cooked.To check whether the cake is cooked,Insert a skewer in,if the skewer comes out clean then the cake is done.
Let the cake cool completely before removing it from the tin and slice it into wedge and serve.

Cheers,
Wow, that is a lovely cake. Great tutorial.
I have a question regarding baking the cake....Every time I try using the tin (the one you showed), I end up having under-cooked part at the center and if I wait too long over baked (dry - burnt sometime) outer sides. To solve the problem I use the bundt-pan like.. http://img1.classistatic.com/cps/po/100426/812r4/0781bm7_27.jpeg .. its OK at home to eat but to take it somewhere I need to find a way to cook it properly in proper pan. Please give me some tip....anyone?? Thanks for the wonderful recipe, will surely try.
@Aj.There might be two reason for that..
You oven heating must not be even or else something must have gone wrong with the batter.
Try to reduce the temparature of the oven and cook it till the cake is done, so that you wont get chances of burning.
PS:This is my personal opinion, i am sure about this.
that's a positively stunning cake, aarthi! i know it takes a little more effort than most cakes, but what reward!
Hi,
You said to bake cake at 180 degrees. I want to know whether it is of Normal Oven, OTG or Microwave or all of these. I've got M/w. with convection. But unable to bake it well as it gets 85 percent cooked and the inner layer is normally uncooked.
Hope to receive ur valuable advise.
Thanks
Amar
@Amar Recipe ..I baked it in OTG Oven.

That's gorgeous Aarthi... and man you blog almost every day? Respect :)_
Aarthi, what a great looking cake! Thanks for trying this from my space. I hope your sister and her friends liked it!
Past couple of days have been extremely unhappy ones due to domestic issues. Then I win a book and you try something from my space. **hugs**. Its very rewarding!
A tip from me to you -- I am not baking expert but this is what I do to my cakes -- After the cake cools down to room temperature, stick the cake in the fridge for an hour or so by wrapping it in a cling film/saran wrap. Then when you cut the cake with a sharp serrated knife the cut will be perfect. That is how I cut my cake and the texture looks great in a photo. You can cool it down to room temperature again to dig in. :)
wow, look at all those perfect circles!! you have a lot of patience :)
