when you are finished making the cake mix..(really whatever cake you fancy as long as it is a light colour) you divide it into two bowls and add food coloring of your liking...or you could leave one plain and use cocoa powder in the other....
then you prepare your cake tin and what you do is you use a
soup spoon for each bowl (so you dont mix colours) and you just pile 2 spoon fulls of one colour into the centre of the cake tin. Then right on top 2 of the other colour. You continue until both cake mixtures have been used up...gravity takes care of the spreading out...you just need to keep the spoon fulls on top of each other.
Hope this makes sense....but it is really simple!
once you cut slices the cake should be stripey. the pic I added is one cut horizontally and looks therefore different.
In austria these cakes are known as zebra cakes...baked with a light and a cocoa cake batter...
this is my first attempt at it so tomorrow when I cut the cake I hope we get some stripes...I can take another pic of it tomorrow.
