Ingredients
Chicken eggs
5
Sugar
360 g
Unsalted butter with at least 65% fat content
100 g
Sour cream with at least 15% fat content
200 g
Baking soda
1/3 of teaspoon
Baking powder
1 pack / 10 g
Cocoa powder
2 tablespoons
Method of preparation
1
Take the butter out of the refrigerator in advance to soften it, and mix it with half of the sugar. In another bowl, break the eggs and mix them with the remaining sugar: you can do this by hand or with a mixer on low speed. Combine the two mixtures and mix gently
2
Mix the baking powder with sour cream, add it to the butter-egg mixture, and mix thoroughly
3
Sift the flour before using it and start adding it gradually
4
According to the classic recipe, the dough for the “zebra” cake should be divided into two equal parts to color them differently. Add cocoa powder to one part, sifting it through a fine sieve beforehand
5
To prepare the striped cake, grease the baking pan with butter in advance and sprinkle with breadcrumbs or flour. Then, pour both types of batter into the pan step by step: two tablespoons of white batter in the center, and then two tablespoons of brown batter in the center, and so on
6
To intensify the chocolate flavor, you can add half a chocolate bar to the “zebra” cake batter. *To make the light shade contrast more with the brown, add a little vanilla extract
7
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) and then place the cake for baking for 50-60 minutes. If after an hour the cake is still undercooked inside, cover it with foil and continue baking
8
Remove the finished cake from the oven and let it cool before removing it from the pan. After an hour, you can top the “zebra” cake with chocolate glaze or, as the classic recipe suggests, sprinkle it with powdered sugar. Your beautiful and very tasty cake is ready!
