How to bake a zebra in the oven? Prepare the products. They should be desirable at the same temperature, better than room temperature.

Melt butter or margarine on a stove in a dish with a thick bottom or in a microwave. To make the process go faster, cut the oil into cubes.

In a deep bowl, whisk together the eggs, gradually adding the sugar and stirring. We don't need a lush mass, just a slightly beaten egg mixture.

Pour kefir into the eggs (can be replaced with sour cream), mix until smooth. Now gently, in a thin stream, pour in the melted butter, stirring constantly.

Mix the flour with the soda. You can also sieve the flour through a fine sieve to saturate it with oxygen and add airiness. Add the wheat flour to the egg-butter mixture spoonful with a slide, stirring each time. As a result, a homogeneous glossy, not thick and not liquid dough should be obtained.

Divide the resulting dough into 2 equal parts. Add the cocoa and 1 tablespoon of boiled water (or milk) to one part and mix so that there are no lumps. Leave the second part as it is.

Brush the baking tin with butter. You can cover with oiled parchment by cutting it out along the diameter of the shape, taking into account the sides. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of each dough alternately in the middle of the tin. Alternate light and dark dough. First I put the light.

Now dark dough is coming to light. It is better to put the spoon perpendicular to the shape, that is, vertically to the center - so the stripes of the future zebra will turn out to be more even.

We lay out light dough on the dark again. And so to the end.

Now make a cobweb pattern with the end of a spoon, toothpick or knife end, drawing lines along the dough surface, from edge to middle, or vice versa. First divide into 4 parts, then between them. Repeat 2 times. This step, however, can be missed.

Put bake zebra cake in the oven preheated to 180 degrees for 30-40 minutes, depending on your oven. Navigate how much simple pies you have, such as Charlotte. Check the biscuit is ready with a toothpick or knife end. Also, the finished bark will lag behind the shape.

Leave the finished cake to cool. And in an hour or two, call everyone for tea. Enjoy your meal!
