Zebra Cake Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing just until combined.

Divide the batter in half. Stir the cocoa powder into one half of the batter.

Drop alternate spoonfuls of vanilla and chocolate batter into the prepared pan. Use a knife to swirl the batters together, creating a marbled effect.

Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve the zebra cake as is or dust with powdered sugar for decoration.
