    I know – the zebra is hard to spot in here with all those stripes – but it is in there. Somewhere :P

    No it’s not the game “Where is Waldo”. It’s just a delicious cake with some stripes. Or it should be. The pieces I cut off were actually not very characteristic for a zebra cake. Not very good defined stripes. Well… but the taste was great :P 

    My mistake was wanting too many layers – go with less thin layers and they will look much better. Now it looks like a messy zebra. So use a bit more of the different colored batter for each layer and everything should be fine :)

    Here is a video again for you to show you how it is done. The one there looks much better to be honest :P

    Hope you liked the video – give me a thumb up on youtube if you do. Oh and my recommendation – don’t eat the cake on the first day or try not to eat all. It get’s much better on the second day :)

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and set aside. In a second bowl mix half a cup (100g) of the sugar with the cocoa, ovomaltine (optional) and water – mix until well combined and set aside as well.

    2. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175°C). Grease and dust a 10 inch (26cm) bundt pan. Melt the butter and let cool down a bit before you add it to a large bowl with the remaining sugar. Mix on medium speed until well combined – about 2-3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and mix. Add the eggs one after another and mix well after each addition. You should get a light and fluffy batter that is quite liquid. Add the flour mix alternating with the milk in 3 portions and mix until just combined – do not overmix! Take two cups (400g) of the batter and add to the cocoa mixture – stir until well combined.

    3. Start filling the bund pan with the batter – take a large spoon or ice cream scoop and add two scoops (spoonful) of the light batter to the pan. Add one scoop (spoonful) of the dark batter on top. Continue by alternating between light and dark batter until the bundt pan is filled completely. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until skewer inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool down in the pan for about 15-20 minutes then take out of the pan and let cool down completely on a wire rack.

    4. For the ganache chop the chocolate and place in a heat proof bowl. Heat up the heavy cream in a saucepan until you can see bubbles coming up. Remove from the heat and pour over the chocolate. Let sit shortly and then stir until you get a smooth mixture. Glaze the cake with it and sprinkle with some hazelnut brittle.

    1. Das Mehl mit Backpulver und Salz in einer Schüssel vermischen und zur Seite stellen. In einer zweiten Schüssel 100g vom Zucker mit dem Kakaopulver, Ovomaltine (optional) und Wasser glattrühren. Ebenfalls zur Seite stellen.

    2. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Eine 26cm (10 inche) Napfkuchenform (oder Gugelhupfform) einfetten und mit Mehl bestäuben. Die Butter schmelzen und etwas abkühlen lassen, bevor sie zusammen mit dem verbliebenen Zucker in eine große Schüssel gegeben wird. Bei mittlerer Stufe aufschlagen, bis sich alles gut verbunden hat – etwa 2-3 Minuten. Vanille Extrakt zugeben und unterrühren. Die Eier einzeln nach und nach zugeben und jedes mal gut unterrühren. Es sollte eine luftig, leichte Mischung entstehen, die aber noch recht flüssig ist. Das Mehl abwechselnd mit der Milch in 3 Portionen zugeben und jeweils nur kurz unterrühren – generell jetzt nicht mehr zu viel rühren, sonst wird der Kuchen am Ende zu kompakt. Vom Teig etwa 400g (2 Tassen) abnehmen, zur Kakaomischung geben und unterrühren.

    3. Zum Befüllen der Form mit dem hellen Teig anfangen – mit einem Eisportionierer oder großen Löffel zwei Portionen in die Form geben. Vom dunklen Teig eine Portion oben drauf und dann abwechselnd jeweils eine Portion Teig einfüllen, bis der gesamte Teig aufgebraucht ist. Für 50-60 Minuten backen – mit einem Holzspieß testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und erst herausnehmen, wenn der Holzspieß sauber herauskommt. In der Form etwa 15-20 Minuten abkühlen lassen und dann vorsichtig auf ein Kuchengitter stürzen und komplett abkühlen lassen.

    4. Für die Ganache die Schokolade klein hacken und in eine hitzebeständigen Schüssel geben. Die Sahne in einem Topf erhitzen, bis kleine Bläschen aufsteigen. Vom Herd nehmen und über die Schokolade schütten. Kurz stehen lassen und dann zu einer glatten Masse verrühren. Den Kuchen damit verzieren und mit etwas Haselnusskrokant bestreuen.

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
