Kitchen note: Same recipe used in Swirl cake (here)
斑纹好美哦~应该也魂好粗~~^^
Anncoo,
I can't draw so nicely like urs, super nice. .
This looks like a work of art. I have a special pan to bake a black and white checker board cake which is fun to slice and see everyones reaction to the pattern. This would make a fun gift for someone's birthday. The fountain on my blog today is from the Atlanta Botanical Gardens in Atlanta, Georgia. If you click on the photo you can see how the water was blowing with the wind.

I love how you've taken this one step furthur with the spiderweb look ๐ Looks great ๐
This looks really gorgeous.I bet it taste delish too..
Hi Ann, loving the look of the cake! Looks amazing.
Curious, is there other substitute for the almond powder? Can I substitute with plain flour or cake flour?
Hi Yan, no problem, you can just omit the almond powder.
This is the first time I've seen a zebra cake – incredible! Thank you for sharing this beautiful creation. ๐
Thank you Patty for the linked ;))
我怎么会现在才看到这么美的斑马纹蛋糕…很美咧!
Hi Susanna, Welcome to my site. We used to call ground almonds as almond powder here. So this is ground almonds.Happy Baking!
Hi Anncoo,WoW! This swirl cake looks really beautiful – combination of the brown/ white layers accentuates the swirls in this swirl shaped bundt cake tin.I liked it so much tht i immediately ordered the same bundt cake tin online! Hopefully can bake one half as pretty as urs!:)Can u please advise type of almond powder used in above recipe – 1)is ground almonds or 2)almond powder in tin?Susanna, Perth
要!食谱我已经copy了!找个机会会试一试!
I baked this cake and not steam-bake. Put the cake at lower rack of the oven and don't bake at high temperature. I remember I had once baked at 180C, the cake becomes dry and abit crack on it.
I only steam bake most of my cheesecakes. I think is not quite suitable to steam bake quite a big cake. Maybe can put into smaller mould.
Absolutely lovely!
Hi你好!谢谢光临。
SP 或 ovalette 是叫蛋糕乳化剂,它的功能是帮助面糊在几分钟内容易大发。不会打出筋但是放了SP 和面糊大发之后,就不能过度的继续的打,要不然蛋糕就发不起来。
要记得~先把重的才料放在mixing bowl里,就是跟我的method一样。
不放也可以,烘出来的蛋糕就没那么松软。
下面的网络可以让你了解多一点SP.

希望下次你能够留下名字。
Hi Peachkins,
Thank you for your compliment.
Hi Anncoo,好漂亮斑马蛋糕,我马上就想做了哈哈!也很感谢你的无私和大家分享了那么多好吃的食谱。想问下你哦,SP 或 ovalette是什么作用呢?如果不加可以吗?还有你的plain flour和鸡蛋一起打,这样打的话粉会打出筋吗?不好意思,我那么问题,谢谢你啊:)
hi Anncoo,
Thks for super quick reply!:)
Just realised tht this comment should rightfully be posted under ur Swirl cake recipe. Was reading both recipes the same time.

How come your cakes can all come out so perfect on top with no crack?
Do you steam bake all of them?
I wonder what happens when you steam bake cakes when they didn't ask to.
Maybe a longer cooking time?
温馨小屋:谢谢哦!这个蛋糕满健康的,因为用很多蛋白,真的很好吃。要不要试试看?
希望很快看到你的作品。
Just use alternate white and choc batter, method same as your tri-colour cake. After finishing adding the batter you will get my pic 1 and use a skewer to draw the line as my pic 2.
I always use cold eggs for sponge cake.
谢谢你的赞美,有机会请你吃哦.:)
Amazing patterns!
Wow, the zebra effect is very nice.
The choc circle on top, did u pipe it? Or just alternate the white and choc batter?
I also use SP to make cake, I tot I should use room temp eggs, so every time I take out eggs from fridge in advance. Next time I can just use cold eggs instead.
Hi Anonymous,
Thank you! Yes you can create the pattern in marble form.
Just put everything in except the melted butter, just like the way you beat up the sponge cake.
Hi, could i know if all the ingredients are added in all at one time, or one after anotr? I have tried baking this cake before, but turned out to be dry. Not sure if my squences of beating it is wrong? lastly , the mixing of butter into the batter is by spatula or I can use the electric mixer to do the job?thank you for your help Christine
Tks, Ann for the recipe. Very happy that the cake turned out VG. Can I check is it ok if I use vegetable oil instead of melted butter? A big thank you for sharing all your wonderful recipes. Have a blessed week!
Hi Jen, yes you can use vegetable oil in this recipe too. ๐
@christine
Put all the ingredients into the mixing bowl (eggs to be put in first..according to my recipe), exactly like beating the sponge cake.
Lastly lower the speed and slowly add in the butter, mix well. Then use spatula to mix in the ground almond.
When you said dry, it might be your temperature too high, you may reduce the temperature a little.
This really looks amazing. I'm not sure I'd be able to make it look this nice though!
Hi there friends, its enormous paragraph about tutoringand fully defined,

Hi Jupes,
About 7 egg whites, depend on the size of the eggs. Actually it's quite alright if you have slightly more than 350g~no problem.
Hi Anchoo,

Anyway, do I have to whip the egg whites till it has attain a certain volue before adding the rest of the ingredients like, egg yolk and flour
tks in adv ๐
Hi,
