While browsing the internet, you’ve probably seen the zebra cake before. On the outside it looks like a totally normal cake: the surprise is when you cut into it and it’s zebra print. “How in the world does that even happen?” you’ve probably wondered. Well, wonder no more! Making a zebra print cake is surprisingly easy, and can even be done with cake mix (sold conveniently at both Vittles and Wisey’s). This cake is perfectly unassuming from the outside, but you’ll be sure to impress everyone once the first slice is cut!
For this recipe, you’ll need two different batters, one chocolate and one vanilla. If you’re not a fan of the chocolate-vanilla combo, you can get the same effect by using all vanilla batter and dying half another color. This method could also work with three colors or other flavor combinations.
A word of advice: make sure the two recipes/mixes that you choose have very similar baking times and oven temperatures. If you select a batter asking for 25 minutes in a 325°F oven and another asking for 30 minutes in a 350°F oven, one part will either be under or over baked, and you definitely don’t want that!
If you’re using mixes, buy both from the same company and double check the times and temperatures to ensure they are relatively the same. If you’re making the batters from scratch, make sure to check cooking times and oven temperatures. You could also add about a 1/2 cup of cocoa powder to half of the vanilla cake recipe for the chocolate half to make things simpler.
