Ingredients:
250g sunflower oil
250g caster sugar
100g semi-skimmed milk
4 medium eggs
2 drops vanilla extract
300g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
25g cocoa powder
Method:
1. Beat the oil, sugar, milk, eggs and vanilla extract in a bowl
2. Pour 400g of this into a clean bowl and set to one side
3. Sift 175g self-raising flour and ½ tsp baking powder into a clean bowl then blend it with the 400g wet mixture. This is your vanilla mixture
4. Sift the remaining 125g self-raising flour and ½ tsp baking powder, along with the cocoa powder, together with the remaining wet mixture. This is your chocolate mixture
5. In a 23cm diameter pre-lined tin, add 1 spoon of the vanilla mixture into the center of the tin. Then, with a clean spoon, add 1 spoon of the chocolate mixture directly on top. Continue alternating until all the mixture is used up, creating a ‘bulls eye’ effect. The smaller the spoon, the thinner the zebra stripes will be
6. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180°C/160°C fan/350°F/gas 4 for 35 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean
7. Stand the cake in the tin for 5 minutes and then cool on a wire rack
