My video recipe

Today is Sunday. My daughter called in the morning and said that she would come and visit her granddaughter in the evening. Our granddaughter has a sweet tooth! She loves baking. He never refuses, and he always asks for more.

So I began to think about how to please my dear girls. She took out an old notebook with homemade baking recipes and began leafing through it. I have several notebooks of them, some with salads, some with main courses, and of course a notebook with baking recipes occupies a special place.

Everyone in our house loves baking. I love it, be it sweet or savory. Even if you bake it every day, you won’t get tired of it. And, of course, quite a lot of recipes have accumulated.

So, I was flipping through my notebook and came across a recipe for Zebra pie. Previously, in the 80-90s, this pie was often baked, but now they have forgotten something about it. After seeing this recipe, I stopped looking for others. What for? This pie is too delicious and beautiful to look for something else. Moreover, I have never baked it for my granddaughter.

The cake turns out to be very original in design, the layers are arranged in such a way that dark stripes alternate with light ones, and this resembles the color of a zebra. Hence the name.

Based on this recipe, you can bake both a pie and a cake. The only difference is that you need to prepare cream for the cake. At the end of the recipe I’ll tell you how to prepare the cream for the Zebra cake.

Well, let's start making the Zebra pie. In the recipe I indicate two numbers. The first number is for preparing a small-volume pie in a small form. If the shape is the size of a medium frying pan or larger, then the second number is relevant.

Zebra pie - a delicious homemade recipe with sour cream

We will need:

butter -200 gr (300 gr)
egg - 3 pcs. (5 pieces)
granulated sugar - 1 cup (2 cups)
vanilla sugar - 1 sachet 8 grams
sour cream -1 cup (1.5 cups)
soda - 1 teaspoon (or baking powder for dough)
vinegar essence (for extinguishing soda)
flour - 2 cups (3 cups)
cocoa powder - 2 tbsp. spoons
salt - a pinch

Preparation:

1. Beat eggs with sugar until smooth.

2. Add softened butter. The butter must be removed from the refrigerator in advance and left at room temperature until softened. It is better not to use a microwave for these purposes.

3. Add sour cream, mix well.

4. Quench the soda with vinegar essence and add to the mixture. You can use ready-made baking powder. In this case, add half a packet of baking powder along with the flour. Add salt.

5. Gradually stir in the flour in small portions. Add vanilla sugar. Leave to infuse for 30 minutes.

6. The dough should be elastic, not liquid or thick. Approximately the consistency of thick sour cream.

7. Divide the dough into two equal parts.

8. Add a little water at room temperature to the cocoa and stir until smooth. If you do not add water, the cocoa dough will be thicker than the white dough. And it will be more difficult to apply even layers.

9. Stir cocoa mass into one of the dough parts.

10. Grease the mold with butter.

11. Place a tablespoon into each bowl of dough. Have two teaspoons ready.

12. Place a spoonful of white dough in the center of the mold. Place a dark colored spoon on top.

12. Lay out all the dough in this way. You can use a teaspoon to help scrape the dough off the large spoon.

13. Try to place the dough exactly in the middle. It is necessary to ensure that the dough does not move to the side. Here you need to be patient and take your time. Then everything will work out.

14. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

15. Bake for 30-35 minutes, depending on the volume of dough, until golden brown. You can check readiness with a toothpick. When piercing the finished pie, there should be no batter left on it.

16. If the top of the pie is already baked, but the middle is not yet, cover the pie with foil, reduce the temperature to 160 degrees and bake the Zebra pie until done.

17. Take the finished pie out, let it cool and serve with hot tea.

How to decorate a pie. "Zebra" cake

To make the cake beautiful, you can put a design on top of it. When the dough is completely poured into the mold, you can run a toothpick or knife along the dough from the edge to the center or from the center to the edge. The cake will be divided into segments and will be beautiful in decoration.

In order to bake a Zebra cake, you need to take the same ingredients as for the cake, only using a larger recipe.
Follow the recipe and bake the crust.
then you need to prepare the cream. The cream for the cake can be anything - custard is also suitable, cream with butter and condensed milk would also be good. But I really like sour cream combined with chocolate glaze.

Sour cream

take 500 gr. thick sour cream with high fat content, cool it in the refrigerator. Thick and fatty sour cream is needed so that the cream does not drip, but sticks well to the cake
Take them out of the refrigerator, add 1.5 cups of granulated sugar, or even better, 1 cup of powdered sugar. Beat the mixture thoroughly with a mixer. And put it back in the refrigerator.
When the cake is baked and completely cooled, apply cream on top and on the sides as you wish.
and if you want, the cake can be cut into two parts. And also put cream between the cakes.
If desired, you can add chopped nuts to this cream, about 100 g.

But in addition to sour cream, we will also make chocolate glaze so that the appearance matches the name.

Chocolate glaze

take 3 tablespoons of sour cream, cocoa powder and sugar
mix everything until smooth
put on fire. Stirring constantly, make sure that it does not boil, but that the glaze becomes dark like chocolate.
add a tablespoon of butter and turn off the heat. Let it cool.
Apply frosting to the sour cream-covered cake in random order.
then take a toothpick, and as your imagination dictates, draw zebra stripes. Well, or how it turns out.

Here is our pie - the cake is ready. Very beautiful and very tasty. By the way, I’m writing now, but only one memory remains of the pie. We ate everything in 10 minutes. And most importantly, my granddaughter was happy! And she said that now this is her favorite pie!

Bon appetit!

Zebra cake is a dessert that is a kind of analogue of a pie with the same (by the way, quite original) name. This “striped” dish will fit perfectly both on an everyday table and at a festive event. Like any other culinary dish, Zebra can be prepared in different ways, changing products or adding new ones. Below will be presented various variations on creating a “Zebra” cake with recipes and photos showing step by step all the nuances of preparing it at home.

However, before that, it is better to familiarize yourself with the average data about this dessert:

Cooking time - 0.5-1.5 hours, depending on the recipe you choose;
One cake will be enough for 6 people;
Suitable for breakfast and tea. As in the first point, the cooking option and the list of ingredients play a key role;
Average energy value – 300 kilocalories;
Necessary kitchen utensils and utensils: mixer (whisk), oven (microwave or multicooker), baking dishes, bowls (pans), cutlery.

Classic recipe

The ingredients included in the Zebra Pie remained almost unchanged from the classic cake recipe. So, for preparation you will need:

Chicken egg (3-4 pcs.);
100 grams of butter (or margarine) and one tablespoon of vegetable oil;
240-260 grams of sour cream;
Wheat flour. 200-400 grams, at the discretion of the cook;
Sugar (amount to taste) and baking soda in one teaspoon;
A few grams of baking powder (instead of slaked soda), 40 grams of cocoa (2-3 spoons) and walnuts if desired;
Chicory (instead of cocoa), semolina.

Time spent on cooking is about an hour.

Act one. Mix the butter and sugar before adding the eggs (especially important for those who use the old fashioned way - a whisk).

Act two. After the eggs, use baking soda (preferably baking powder) to make the cake airier and “lift”. Now is the time to add the walnuts.

Act three. Mix with flour, adding it gradually to avoid lumps. Pour sour cream over the dough or leave it for last for cream.

Act four. For the cake to live up to its name, you need to divide the dough into two parts and divide them into different bowls, as indicated in the photo. Add cocoa or other dye to one layer, leave the other in its original state.

Act four. Grease the mold with oil, carefully and slowly add dark and light layers alternately. Cook the cake at 180 degrees for 25-35 minutes.

Further decoration of the cake depends only on the imagination of the hostess; you can add cream (sour cream and sugar, for example) or icing.

If you wish, you can experiment by simply making two cake layers of different colors, and later decorating them with cream, creating a “web”. Or add other colors, cinnamon, nuts, additives.

“Zebra” with honey, candied fruits, jam

To make such a cake, it is enough to add these components during cooking, separating them into different layers. Jam (pre-purchased in a store will do) can be mixed with milk to create an unusual cream.

Zebra straight from the slow cooker

It will take a little more time.

Act one. Repeat the order from the first recipe. From the mixed eggs, sugar, butter and other things, separate two masses, adding cocoa to one. Fill the surface of the slow cooker.

Act two. Selecting the baking mode, cook for 60 minutes.

"Zebra" on kefir

It is more difficult to prepare such a cake; in this situation, the housewife must first of all take care of the beauty and effectiveness of her dessert.

The dough needs to be kneaded with kefir, then placed in layers in the oven. Bake for three quarters of an hour at 160 degrees. After cutting the finished cake in half, proceed to the main thing. Mix vanilla and regular sugar with water and boil. Then cool to normal temperature. Prepare a cream consisting of sour cream and sugar (powder) described above. Apply all these additional elements so that the syrup is absorbed into the cake, and the cream highlights the top part. Again, connect the two parts. Apply glaze. Bon appetit!

Simplified version

If you don’t have enough time, or urgently need to treat your guests or family, then a simplified version of the cake would be the ideal solution. You just need to use all the ingredients in smaller quantities, but in the same proportions, saving 10-15 minutes on half an hour of baking at 200 degrees.

"Zebra" for a young housewife

If the cook does not have enough experience and time, then mistakes can be avoided by acting within the framework of this recipe. Soak a regular chocolate cake with condensed milk, put a sheet of boiled milk on top, and leave in the refrigerator for several hours. Use nuts or sprinkles to spice up this simple cake.

You can slightly change the previous recipes by making a “melting” cake with milk and generously adding chocolate to it.

For the laziest

Even those who are usually far from aprons, pots and ovens can please themselves with such a cake. You should add the dark and light layers to the silicone mold, alternating them, and then place them in the microwave for 10-15 minutes. Suitable for those moments when you need to surprise guests, feed the children or treat yourself to something unexpected. The recipe is a salvation for those who do not want (or cannot) use an oven or slow cooker.

For those who want to stay in shape

Even by preparing such a cake, you can reduce the load on your digestive system and remain slim and fit. A light cake will definitely not spoil the results of the diet; moreover, it will be an excellent way out of it (especially with a strict diet). How to cook it? It is important to do this:

Using a mixer, achieve a homogeneous mass of eggs, sugar and vanilla;
Add cottage cheese (half a kilogram is enough), beat the consistency again;
Pour milk over everything, add semolina if desired, prepare the dough;
Then work in accordance with the first recipes, put it in the oven and enjoy the “diet” dessert.

This delicacy will last for a long time (on average, it serves 5-8 people), and you will maintain a good mood and figure.

“Zebra” will not be easy to prepare for hasty and impatient housewives. Therefore, to help them achieve a beautiful and noticeable (and most importantly, delicious) cake, we list some “tricks”.

Firstly, to get a perfectly even “web”, you can use a toothpick or knife, making light cuts from the center to the edge. Secondly, by decorating the cake with berries, icing, etc., you can draw attention to your dessert. And attention, as you know, is the path to recognition. You can also change the proportions of granulated sugar, add powder and vanillin instead.

Even an inexperienced housewife can make a signature cake out of Zebra “for herself” thanks to its “multifunctionality” and unique recipes.

Don't be afraid to try, combine the incongruous. Or simply decorate the cake with dry or fresh fruits, pastry fondant, and honey. Believe me, those 30-90 minutes that were spent on cooking can easily be compensated by the Zebra cake, which is enough for the whole company.

A cake that does not require special knowledge, great effort and money will ensure your popularity. Live “deliciously”!

Thanks to Grandma Emma and all her helpers for reminding me of such a simple zebra recipe from childhood. Back then there was not such a wide variety of baked goods in stores, and every housewife tried to surprise guests with delicious and impressive home-made baked goods.
