ZEBRA CAKE

Ingredients

6 Medium eggs  or 4 Large eggs

1 cup Sugar

1 cup Milk (I used low fat )

1 cup Vegetable oil

2 cups Maida

2½ tbsp Cocoa powder

1 tbsp Baking powder

1 tsp Vanilla essence

¼ tsp Salt

In a large bowl beat the eggs and sugar till light and creamy, then add the milk, oil and vanilla essence. In another bowl whisk together maida, baking powder and salt, then add to the vanilla mixture. Divide the mixture equally and add cocoa powder to one bowl. Before assembling the mixture preheat the oven to 1800 C. Take a round tin and line it with parchment paper and grease it all round. Now the assembling part : in the centre of the tin put 3 tbsp or a ladle full of the vanilla batter first then 3 tbsp of the cocoa batter, continue in this way till both the batters are exhausted (as shown in the picture).

 **(Do not at any point try to spread the batter yourself by tapping the tin as the batter will spread itself)**. Bake it for about 50 minutes or until the skewer comes out clean. Cool the cake for 10-15 minutes and serve it with coffee or just have it plain or sprinkled with icing sugar.
