Here’s a clean and simple version of that giant zebra cake recipe (easy + budget-friendly):
🍰 Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup oil
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 8 g baking powder (about 2 tsp)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prepare the batter
- In a bowl, beat the eggs with sugar and salt until light and creamy.
- Add oil and milk, mix well.
- Add dry ingredients
- Sift in the flour and baking powder.
- Mix until you get a smooth batter.
- Divide the batter
- Split the mixture into two equal parts.
- Add cocoa powder to one half and mix.
- Create the zebra pattern
- Grease a baking pan.
- Pour one ladle of plain batter in the center.
- Then pour one ladle of chocolate batter on top.
- Repeat alternating until all batter is used (this creates the stripes).
- Bake
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 35–40 minutes.
- Check with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, it’s ready.
- Cool & serve
- Let it cool slightly, then slice to reveal the beautiful zebra pattern 🐾
💡 Tip: For extra flavor, you can add vanilla to the plain batter or a bit of coffee to the chocolate one.
If you want, or without eggs 👍
