How To Make It

  1. Mix the eggs and the sugar in a large bowl. Use the electric hand mixer to combine.
  2. Add the water, the EVOO, the flour, and the baking mix. Mix using the mixer.
  3. Keep half of that mixture into that bowl, and add the rest to another bowl.
  4. Add the cacao powder only in one bowl.
  5. Take your baking dish and line the bottom.
  6. Take two clean tablespoons, and use one for each batter.
  7. Add two tablespoons of the chocolate batter, and then two tablespoons of the white batter, every time adding the batter in the middle of the previous one.
  8. It’s like you are creating a circle of batter each time, and then adding the next colored batter in the middle of that circle.
  9. If you keep going until you use both batters you will get the zebra cake design.
  10. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes.
  11. When ready, take it out and feel free to dust with powdered sugar.
