Directions:Preheat oven to 350º. Grease a bundt pan well with baking spray (oil and flour).Set aside. In small, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In another small bowl, mix together ½ cup sugar, the cocoa powder and the water. Stir until smooth paste forms. Set aside. In the bowl of your mixer, cream together the cooled melted butter and the remaining 2 cups sugar. Add vanilla and beat until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. With the mixer on low, add ⅓ of the flour mixture, then half of the milk, then repeat until all the milk and flour have been incorporated. Measure out two heaping cups of the mixture and mix into the bowl with the chocolate mixture. Stir to combine.
To make zebra look: Use two spoons, one for each white and chocolate batters. Spoon a heaping spoonful of white batter into bottom of bundt pan. Spoon an equal amount of chocolate batter directly on top of the white already in pan. Next, spoon some of white batter into the center of the chocolate batter. Repeat this until all batter has been used. It will continue to spread out in the pan looking like a zebra pattern. Bake at 350º for 50-60 minutes, until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool before inverting onto a serving plate.
For chocolate glaze: Mix all ingredients for the glaze together to form a drizzling consistency. Drizzle glaze over cooled cake. |
