Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9-inch round springform pan using gluten-free flour.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the granulated sugar and eggs until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Gradually add the vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture while whisking until fully combined.

Step 5

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly into two bowls. In one bowl, sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Using a ladle or large spoon, pour about 3 tablespoons of the vanilla batter into the center of the prepared pan. Next, pour 3 tablespoons of the chocolate batter directly on top of the vanilla batter. Continue alternating between vanilla and chocolate batter in the center, allowing the batter to spread outward on its own, creating a striped pattern.

Step 8

Once all the batter has been used, gently tap the pan on the counter to remove any air bubbles.

Step 9

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve the zebra cake. Enjoy!
