Zebra Bundt Cake
(recipe followed and adapted from bakersroyale)

Hi! I have not posted anything on my blog for months...Have been really tied up for some very personal reasons...I really appreciate those blogger friends who instead of having a busy schedule, keeps us updated with their new recipes..But i have been baking and trying out new things in the kitchen..
My love for baking cakes took me to try out "Zebra Bundt Cake" . Its an interesting pattern done with chocolate and vanilla batter. Though my bundt did not turned out so beautiful but the zebra lines were evident..For the zebra cake the batter should not be thick and more of alternate lines should be used..will try harder for the perfect look next time..
