Time 1h10m

Yield 1 9

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup milk (whole, 2% or 1%)
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons double dutched dark cocoa

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F Lightly spray a 9" x 2" round baking pan with cooking spray. Line the bottom of the pan with a circle of parchment, and spritz again. Set the pan aside.
  • In the bowl of your mixer, blend the sugar and eggs until lightened, about 2 minutes. On low speed blend in the oil, milk and vanilla until well combined and smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk to remove any lumps. Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Combine on medium speed 1-2 minutes or until the batter is smooth and lump free. Be sure to scrape down the bowl halfway through mixing.
  • Remove 2 cups of the vanilla batter and place it in the measure you used for the liquid ingredients. Sift the cocoa over this batter, and stir well to combine. Be sure to use a sifter to avoid cocoa lumps in the batter.
  • Now for the stripes:.
  • Spoon about 3 tablespoons of vanilla batter into the center of the cake pan. Next, spoon 3 tablespoons of the chocolate batter into the center of the vanilla batter. This causes the vanilla batter to spread out. Continue to alternate batters, in bulls-eye fashion until all batter is used. You will now have thin rings of each batter on the outer edges of the pan, thicker rings towards the center.
  • Bake the cake in the center of the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the cake is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, and then turn out onto a wire rack to finish cooling. Frost as desired.

GIANT ZEBRA 'BOX' CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY



Giant Zebra 'Box' Cake Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: whipped cream, marshmallow fluff, yellow cake mix, white chocolate chip, coconut oil, dark chocolate chip, cooling rack, pastry bag

Provided by Kiano Moju

Categories     Desserts

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup whipped cream
½ cup marshmallow fluff
1 yellow cake mix, baked according to package instructions in 2 9-inch (23 cm) cake pans and cooled completely
2 cups white chocolate chip
2 tablespoons coconut oil
¼ cup dark chocolate chip, melted
cooling rack, for glazing cake
pastry bag

Steps:

  • Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine the whipped cream and marshmallow fluff. Beat with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
  • Use a serrated knife to carefully remove the domed top from the cakes, leaving a flat, even surface. Save the scraps for later - you can eat them with leftover melted chocolate or crumbled over ice cream.
  • Spread the filling over the bottom cake, leaving about ¾-inch (2 cm) border around the edge. Place the other cake upside down on top of the filling.
  • Trim the cake into a hexagon. Transfer the cake to a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
  • Make the coating: Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low. Combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a medium heatproof bowl and set it over the pan (make sure the bottom of the bowl isn't touching the water). When the white chocolate and coconut oil begin to melt, mix together until smooth. Be careful, as the bowl will be very hot.
  • Pour the melted white chocolate mixture over the cake. Use a knife to spread to the edges and down the sides. Once smooth, run a knife under the edges of the cake so it doesn't stick to the rack and place the cake in the refrigerator until the coating is set, 10-15 minutes.
  • Transfer the melted dark chocolate chips to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner snipped off. Carefully pipe chocolate zebra stripes onto the cake. Return to the refrigerator to set for 10-15 minutes. Remove the cake once the stripes are dry.
  • To serve, slowly and carefully slice with a serrated knife so the shell doesn't crack. Score the slices with a paring knife before cutting to make it easier, if needed.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a more intense zebra pattern, use a dark cocoa powder.
  • To make the cake layers even, divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans.
  • Bake the cake layers until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake layers to cool completely before frosting.
  • For a smooth frosting, beat the butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until the frosting is thick and creamy.
  • To create a zebra pattern on the cake, spoon half of the frosting into a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
  • Spoon the remaining frosting into a separate piping bag fitted with a different round tip.
  • Pipe alternating lines of each color of frosting onto the cake, starting from the center and working your way out.
  • Use a toothpick or offset spatula to swirl the frosting together to create the zebra pattern.

Conclusion:

Zebra cake is a delicious and visually stunning dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its alternating layers of light and dark cake and its beautiful zebra pattern frosting, this cake is sure to impress your guests. Follow these tips to make the best zebra cake possible.
