About:

I wanted to make a cupcakes for my daughter school party. She loves both chocolate and vanilla flavour.  I could not decide which to make – vanilla or chocolate? Vanilla or chocolate? Finally, I decided just to make both – and mix them together.

For the Zebra layer:
  • To make a layered/striped muffins place one tbsp Vanilla batter and then chocolate  batter on the top. Continue doing this until the muffin mould is 2/3 full. (Make sure not to tilt or jiggle the pan, let the batter spread by itself)

  • Once all the muffin cases are filled bake approx. 15-18 minutes (time may vary from oven to oven so keep an eye after 12 minutes of baking)
  • Do a toothpick check- if the toothpick inserted comes out clear its done.
  • And then let the cupcakes cool a bit and then transfer on to the cooling rack.

Note:

  • Frosting can be done if required.
  • Sweetness can be personlised
  • Batter consistency to be adjusted as per Cocoa powder added
  • Milk powder can be replaced with Milk. In that case water can be skipped or you can add water as per batter consistency
