I learned how to bake a classic Zebra cake at school during labor lessons. Since then, I've been making it for various holidays or just like that, for no reason. My children always enjoy the look and taste of these sweet pastries. And preparing such a cake, as can be seen from the recipe, is incredibly simple. It belongs to the number of those cakes that do not contain any cream, but which I still like very much at the same time. I bake it every time I want to please and pamper my family with sweets and to have something to eat over a cup of tea or coffee. If suddenly your family asked you to bake something delicious, then they won't have to wait long. Knowing this recipe, you will very quickly serve the desired pastries on the table. Cut off each piece and put the kettle on so that your meal is full and satisfying!

Be prepared for the fact that you may need more or less flour than indicated in the recipe. Focus not on the amount of flour, but on the desired consistency of the dough. To avoid mistakes, read about flour and its properties!

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use the useful information about the features of ovens !
