Surely you have at least once seen this work of home culinary art - a zebra-striped cupcake with a subtle cocoa aroma. Recipes for preparing such a delicacy are varied - some prefer to prepare the cupcake using kefir, while others, like us, prefer the classic method of preparation - with sour cream.
The cake turns out soft and not dry, as would happen in the oven, and thanks to the detailed photos, even a beginner can handle the cake.
In order to prepare a delicious treat for tea, be patient and have the following ingredients:
Just follow the photo recipe and you will succeed!
In a dry bowl, beat the eggs with sugar using a whisk or mixer. Beat the ingredients until the mixture turns white and doubles in size, as in the photo.
Some recipes advise melting the butter using a water bath or microwave, but we know that the secret to making a striped cake is in the ingredients being the same, at room temperature.
Therefore, we simply take the oil out of the refrigerator in advance so that it reaches the desired temperature on its own.
Mix the softened butter with the eggs using a spatula.
We will do the same with sour cream, which we took out of the refrigerator in advance.
Wheat flour must be sifted through a sieve - this will make the zebra cake more airy.
Add baking powder and vanillin. Mix everything thoroughly until smooth.
If you don’t like recipes that include vanillin, then you can omit it or even replace it with your favorite flavoring, for example a couple of drops of rum (unless, of course, the dish is intended for children).
Pour half of the dough into a separate container and mix with sifted, lump-free cocoa.
Important: the density of the dough should be the same, so we will “equalize” it in the white dough using one tablespoon of sifted flour.
Mix both types of dough with different spoons.
Grease the bottom and walls of the multicooker with butter, sprinkle a little flour and shake off the remaining flour - this is called a “French shirt” and when using recipes for cooking in a multicooker, do not forget about this method to protect baked goods from burning.
Pour two spoons of white dough onto the bottom of the multicooker. Try to ensure that the puddle of dough is exactly in the middle of the bowl.
Now place two tablespoons of dark dough on top of the white dough. See how the zebra cupcake pattern is already being created?
Repeat the procedure until the dough runs out.
We activate the “Baking” mode on the multicooker display for 60 minutes. We remind you that recipes can only guide you in terms of cooking time, but the exact number of minutes depends on your kitchen assistant model.
At the end of the cooking time, turn off the multicooker, wait 15 minutes and open the lid.
Then, using a steaming container, we carefully move our cake onto a soft towel - freshly cooked, it has a very delicate texture and can change its shape on the plate. Let it cool, then carefully place it right side up on a plate.
Recipes for making frosting to top usually contain several ingredients. We will provide you with two glaze options to choose from so you can choose the recipes for yourself.
Option one: classic glaze
You will need:
Let's get started:
Heat the milk on the stove over low heat. Pour cocoa and granulated sugar into it, stir until the ingredients dissolve.
Cook the glaze until thick, then add softened butter and mix thoroughly. The glaze is ready.
Option two (for the lazy).
You will need:
Let's get started:
Melt the chocolate bar in a water bath or in the microwave until liquid.
Let's dilute the hot chocolate with boiling water - this way the glaze will be viscous and will not harden so quickly on the cupcake.
Stir in a couple of tablespoons of butter for a glossy shine.
Cover the cooled zebra cake with the finished glaze and serve.

This dessert deserves special attention for its speed of preparation, originality, economy and beauty. Every housewife has the products needed to prepare it in her kitchen. Zebra cake can be cooked in and baked in a slow cooker, but since I didn’t have kefir at home, I made it without it. The result pleased me - the dough turned out airy! I present to you one of the possible options for preparing the Zebra cake. according to a simplified recipe in a slow cooker.
Ingredients for the dough:
Ingredients for glaze:
How to choose the right ingredients: To make the dough fluffy, choose high-quality baking powder and cocoa powder. Look at the expiration date and manufacturer.
In my opinion this cake no need to decorate further, because a painted flower on the surface of a cake is already a wonderful decoration. But when I want to treat this cake to children, I water it chocolate icing. Children lick the chocolate first and only then start eating the cake. I will share the glaze recipe. 
For the glaze we need:
Add cocoa powder, milk, sugar to the pan. Heat over low heat, whisking constantly. In 2-3 minutes when all the ingredients have melted, add the butter oil and mix again with a whisk. If the mixture turns out to be very liquid, boil it a little. Turn off the fire. After 10 minutes When the glaze has cooled, pour it over our cake.
Above you can add more rosettes made from whipped cream or sprinkled with grated chocolate. Separately, you can serve condensed milk in bowls with the cake.
In order for you to see with your own eyes how to draw a flower on the surface of a Zebra cake, I suggest watching the following video.

Cooking Zebra curd in a slow cooker:
If you want Zebra in a slow cooker to always turn out successful, use these helpful tips:
1. Beat sugar with eggs and vanilla. This can be done with a mixer, or you can do it manually using a fork.
2. Pour in sour cream, stir everything well.
3. Add flour little by little (if you are using a mixer or food processor, then turn it to the slowest speed so that the flour does not scatter throughout the kitchen). Don't forget to add baking powder to the flour.
4. It's time to divide the dough into two equal parts. Stir cocoa into one, little by little, so that there are no lumps.
5. Taking turns scooping both types of dough with a spoon, pour them into the slow cooker - a spoonful of white, a spoonful of black, and again a spoonful of white, a spoonful of black... Until the dough is finished.
6. And now - the magic: with just a few movements you can decorate the “Zebra” in such a way that it will be a pity to cover it with cream.
To do this, arm yourself with a toothpick or something like that. Stick it into the dough exactly in the center of the multicooker and draw a line to the edge of the multicooker. Take out the toothpick, stick it in the edge (two centimeters to the left) and draw a new line, but towards the center. And so continue to draw - towards the center and from the center - until your lines converge into a circle.
And one more thing: to avoid a monochromatic “middle” (as in the photo with a cutaway cupcake), pour in the last few servings not a whole spoon at a time, but a quarter at a time.
7. Set the “Baking” mode to 60 or 70 minutes.
All! You have worked hard and can rest. Next, the multicooker picks up the baton of magic.
After the beep, the zebra chocolate cake in the slow cooker is ready.
Bon appetit!
The cake can be divided into two parts and greased. This will make it even more tender and tastier! Just remember that all sweets are harmful in large quantities. Eat in moderation.
