How to make Zebra Cake - Christmas Desserts - Торт Зебра

Hi guys! Happy Holidays! Today I'll show you how to make an amazing, amazing Christmas cake. It's going to be a cute zebra cake covered in marshmallow frosting with cute little macaroons on top. And it's really easy, so just stay with me and I'll show you how to make it. I'm using my stand mixer, but you can also use your electric whisker. First thing we're going to do, we're going to add 4 eggs. I'm using golden caster sugar. If you don't have that, you can use just plain caster sugar. And we're going to whisk it for 1 minute. Now we're going to add our milk. sunflower oil. You can also use vegetable oil. We're using oil instead of butter so the mixture is very nice and smooth. And we're going to whisk it again. I'm going to add all my flour with baking powder. Looking for a nice and runny mixture. Now we're going to divide this in half. Put it in a different bowl. And I'm going to add some cocoa powder. Add two extra tablespoons of self raising flour into this bowl. Just so the mixtures I'm also going to add a little bit of vanilla extract. So I'm going to be using a 10 inch pan and I'm going to spray it with some cake release spray. You can also use butter. This is to make sure it doesn't get stuck to the bottom. So we'll put two tablespoons of chocolate mixture in first and then I'm going to do the same with our vanilla mixture. Put that in the middle and let it slide. I've got loads of beautiful circles of chocolate and vanilla, so I'm just going to finish that now. Don't worry about being messy, it's still going to look pretty. Put this in the oven at 180 degrees or 350 Fahrenheit for about 40 to 50 minutes. Okay, so my cake has been cooling down for a good 15 minutes and now I'm just going to cut it in half. And usually I like to just put around like a mark and then I'm just going to cut it right through it. Now we can see the beautiful cake inside. Wow, look at that! So we're just going to transfer that onto my decorative plate. Okay, so my cake is ready to be frosted. I'm going to be using my marshmallow frosting and you can see it's right there. I've got a recipe here on my YouTube channel, so you can watch how to make this. I'll include it above and also below in the description box. And we want to put quite a generous amount because we want to make the cake very nice and moist. Now we're just going to put our second half on top. I'm covering and frosting again the sides and all. Once you've frosted your cake, I'm going to add some white chocolate shavings around the cake to make it look like a little snow. So you just sprinkle them around. I'm decorating my cake with these little cute snowman macaroons. You can find the recipe on my channel. I will include the link above. Or you can use any other macaroons that you like. So first of all, we're just gonna place each macaroon on top of the cake. And we're gonna wanna put them in there so they sit. make sure that everyone gets a macaroon in their slice. Once it's all done I like to put some raspberries just in between each macaroon so it gives it extra color. It just looks so festive and elegant. And lastly I'm just going to sprinkle a bit of some sugar on top. What I love about this cake it's like a little surprise when you cut into it so your guests are not going to know that it's a beautiful zebra cake inside. So I'm just going to cut. Ta-da! Look at that! Beautiful zebra cake. This is a really easy recipe of how to make zebra cake with marshmallow frosting. You can serve this on your Christmas dinner.
