Zebra cake is the type of marble cake with streaks of light vanilla and dark chocolate batter that forms a beautiful pattern on the cake. The cake has a spongy texture and is very light and delicious cake to pair with a cup of tea or coffee or with a dollop of whipped cream and ice cream.
It’s the last day of ABC bake around the world and m final cake is this spectacular Zebra cake. The texture of the cake was perfect but I wasn’t satisfied b the streak pattern. As I baked a couple of cake on the same day, b the time I was making this particular one I was kind of tired and lazy. I did the layering in so much hurry that it did not come out as it should be.
That being said, don’t forget to come back check out the roundup of ABC Bake around the world and enjoy a month’s baking recipes from world cuisine.
