Off late,weather in Bangalore has been extraordinarily warm and the contrasting cold temperatures in the night have taken a toll on everyone's immunity.A lot of people around have been experiencing bouts of fever and respiratory problems.I learnt over phone today that a neighbour's three year old son had just come back the previous day after spending a night in the hospital because of breathing issues.His mother told me that though he was well now,he was cranky and refusing to eat anything.
I decided to bake a fun Zebra cake to cheer him up.I clearly knew the magic of the Zebra cake worked as I saw him sipping his orange juice along with a slice of cake on his own without any coaxing or cajoling!:)
This one is for little Augastaya...Hope to see you cycling on your blue tricycle in the evening..
Zebra cake ,although is a simple chocolate and vanilla combo cake,its a very visually appealing cake,specially for little children.Also its a lot of fun making it...
Ingredients-
Sugar-2/3cup
Flour-11/4cup
Egg-1
Salt-1/4 tsp
Baking soda-1/4tsp
Baking powder-1tsp
Oil-1/2 cup
Curd-4tsp
Vanilla essence-1 tsp
Cocoa Powder-3 tsp
Sieve together Flour+Salt+Baking soda+Baking powder and keep aside.
Whisk egg+ sugar+Oil+curd + vanilla essence together.
Gradually add the dry mix to liquid mix and whisk.
Now Divide the combined mixture in two vessels.
To one vessel add the cocoa powder and mix.
Take an eight inch baking mould and grease it.(I have used two 4 inch moulds here)
The trick is to bring layer effect by alternately spooning the two mixtures.
Put one spoon of the vanilla mix in the middle of the mould and let it spread out on its own.
The consistency of the mixture should be such that it should spread on its own without shaking or stirring the pan.Then spoon the cocoa mix over it in the middle followed by vanilla again.Continue spooning the two mixtures alternately till the end.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180 centigrade for forty minutes or till done.
Check by inserting a fork in the middle,if it comes out clean,the cake is done.
