Swirly / Zebra Cake

Step #1

Using the ingredients listed above for both "Cake 1" and "Cake 2", mix all of the ingredients together by hand to form the two separate batters.

Step #2

Then deposit into a well greased 18cm (7 inch) loaf tin the Madeira batter first followed by the chocolate batter on top.

Step #3

Carefully run through the tutorial images below so you make sure you do not mix the two together to form a uniform coloured batter.

Step #4

Bake in the oven at 160-170ºC (320-340ºF) Gas Mark 3 - 4 for around 50 - 55 minutes until baked. Allow to cool.

Why it works

My favourite recipe idea for use with our cake mixes has been submitted by Lottie Kaye who works for us here at the mill! With recipe ideas like this Zebra Cake creation – you are very welcome Lottie! You just dollop equal quantities of Madeira and Chocolate as they spread. Regular users of Chocolate Fudge will be aware of its light consistency prior to baking and to achieve this, you must have the same evenness of mix so you may need to add a further 10ml of oil to the Madeira batter to accommodate this – a fascinating idea!
