Method
- Step 1 :
Watch our Zebra Traybake video before you start!
- Step 2 :
Preheat the oven to 180°C
- Step 3 :
350°F
- Step 4 :
Gas Mark 4.
- Step 5 :
Put the oil, sugar, milk, eggs and vanilla extract in a large bowl and beat everything together well with a balloon whisk.
- Step 6 :
For the vanilla mixture: weigh 300g of the cake batter into a bowl and sift in 125g of the self-raising flour, with ½ teaspoon of the baking powder. Mix well and set aside.
- Step 7 :
For the chocolate mixture: sift the remaining 100g self-raising flour and ½ teaspoon of baking powder into the other bowl along with the cocoa powder.
- Step 8 :
Now you’re ready to fill the tin… Using separate tablespoons place a spoonful of the vanilla mix into the centre of the tin, top with a spoonful of the chocolate mixture right in the middle of the vanilla blob. Repeat this until you’ve used up all the mixture and you have concentric circles like a target board.
- Step 9 :
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Leave to cool for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Step 10 :
For the frosting: add your softened butter to a stand mixer and beat on high for 5-7 minutes until it has turned completely white. Add in the vanilla extract and mix to incorporate. Add the condensed milk in four stages and whisk until it has been fully incorporated.
- Step 11 :
Decorate the cake: Ice the cake with the buttercream (you can use a piping bag or spatula) and finish with the KitKat.
