Components :
For the Cake:

1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup 60g unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup 60ml vegetable oil
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup 120ml buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cream Filling:
1/2 cup 115g unsalted butter, softened
1 cup 125g powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
For the Chocolate Glaze:
1 cup 175g semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate
2 teaspoons coconut oil or vegetable oil
For the White Drizzle:
1/4 cup 30g white chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
Instructions :
1. Make the Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the butter, oil, and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix well.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, until the batter is smooth and combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely, then cut it into even circles using a cookie cutter 2 to 3 inches in diameter.
2. Make the Cream Filling:
Beat the butter until smooth and fluffy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until creamy.
Add the vanilla and heavy cream, and whip until light and spreadable.
3. Assemble the Zebra Cakes:
Spread a layer of cream filling on one cake circle, then top it with another circle to form a sandwich. Repeat with all circles.
Place the assembled cakes on a wire rack with a baking sheet underneath to catch drips.
4. Make the Chocolate Glaze:
Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Spoon or pour the chocolate glaze over each cake, ensuring they are fully coated. Let the glaze set.
5. Add the White Drizzle:
Melt the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave until smooth.
Transfer the melted white chocolate to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a small corner cut off.
Drizzle white stripes over the chocolate-covered cakes to mimic the zebra pattern.
Tips:
Store the zebra cakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
You can use different cookie cutter shapes for fun variations!
Enjoy your delicious homemade zebra cakes! 🍰
