I'm supposed to make a zebra cake, & I have not get the technique right. But this is a wonderful butter cake recipe.
Adapted from Zebra Cake from Singapore Home Cooks (SHC) by Jenny Lim.
Ingredients: (9 inch round pan)
230g salted butter, softened at room temperature
200g sugar
4 egg eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
200g self raising flour, sifted
60ml milk
10g cocoa powder
Method:
1. Line the base & grease the sides of the baking pan.
2. Cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add in vanilla extract & milk and beat for a while.
3. Add in egg one at a time and beat well after each addition.
4. Add in flour, in 2 additions, mix them well into the batter.
5. Divide the mixture into 2 equal portions, add cocoa powder to one of the portion and mix well. Set both aside.
Note: If you just want Mabel, pour the plain batter then the chocolate batter in the middle & stir with a chopsticks. Skip step 6.
6. To get the Zebra like prints : Using a tablespoon, scoop 1 tablespoon of the original batter into the centre of the pan. Then scoop 1 tablespoon of cocoa batter on top of the centre of the original batter. Alternate the 2 batters until done.
7. Bake at 180 deg C in a preheated oven for 45 minutes or until skewer comes out clean. Reduce the temperature if the top turns brown too fast or start to crack.
