A simple eggless zebra cake or a patterned cake with a combination of vanilla and chocolate flavor. Check out the delicious eggless vanilla chocolate cake with detailed step-wise pictures.
Welcome to the 7th day of Baking Mania. Today I thought of trying zebra cake. It’s the combination of vanilla and chocolate flavor. I am not sure if I can call this cake as zebra cake (my pattern is not up to the mark), that’s why I included vanilla and chocolate cake. Well, you can call it a marble cake also. :-)
The base recipe was taken from Gayathri’s blog but I changed the measurement slightly. I increased the cocoa powder a bit. Because of the increase in cocoa I had to add more milk too. I thought it’s going to be a disaster. But it turned out ok. As it had more chocolate flavor, it turned it into bite-sized pieces and served along with vanilla ice cream and it became a huge hit.
