These stripes that show up with every slice look mesmerizing! Over the time I have tried about 4 versions of this cake. And I found that some recipes made the chocolate batter sink a lot which would make the cake more chocolaty at the bottom and more vanilla-ish at the top. Enters this recipe! A perfect balance of chocolate and vanilla on the top and bottom of the cake.
My mom particularly prefers this recipe as it uses very basic kitchen staple ingredients and is oil-based rather than butter based. Start by mixing all the wet ingredients together in one bowl and all the dry ingredients in the next. TIP 1: Try keeping the vanilla batter slightly more than half in quantity than the chocolate one. Doing this, gives me more even pattern than dividing them up equally.
Creating the pattern is my favorite part of the recipe. Start by pouring one spoonful of vanilla batter in the center of the pan and then pour chocolate batter right on top of it. Keep continuing this and viola! You have your Zebra Cake pattern in-place and finally ready to bake.
Just like regular marble cake, the chocolate flavor is very subdued and mild. Loving how this cake is just the proper amount of soft. Its dense enough, that it can be frosted and covered if need be, while also being soft enough to be eaten just as it is.
