Zebra Striped Cake How To

Our daughter considers 'zebra' a color & asked for a zebra cake for her birthday. The trick - she wanted the zebra pattern on the INSIDE!


Here's the Mom's Lifesavers how to:
We used 2 cake mixes - a white mix and a chocolate mix. Make the mix according to the package instructions and set aside.
Spray and flour your cake pans - we sprayed a light coat of non-stick cooking spray on the inside of our round cake pans and then sprinkled flour on the inside, lightly coating them so that our cakes wouldn't stick.
Next, starting with the chocolate batter, scoop a 1/2 cup of the mixture and pour it into the center of the pan, IMPORTANT - Do not shake mix or try to spread it - let is 'spread' naturally.
Following the chocolate batter do the same with the white batter, pour it DIRECTLY ON TOP of the chocolate mix. Continue alternating chocolate and white cake batter - always pouring directly onto the top and letting the batter spread in the pan on its own.
TIP - You will have batter left over, we had enough for 3 cake pans and a small loaf pan (which we snacked on right away!)
Here is what our finished cake and oven ready pans looked like:

Bake as directed and allow them plenty of time to cool before removing the cake from the pans.
Have fun with it and enjoy!
