Duff Zebra Cake

I know that lately, I'm all

...but what can I say

it's very inspiring

which led me to my

latest test kitchen adventure

I've seen several pictures of zebra cakes

on Pinterest

so when I was at Target last week

&

I saw this from Duff

I knew it was meant for me to make a zebra cake - STAT! 

Then I thought, " Hmm.. how do I make mine

stand out

amongst the others on Pinterest?"

Then it came to me...

Of course, PINK

instead of white

pink

 is afterall

my FAVORITE color

At first, I wasn't quite sure what I was doing.

Basically, you have your pink cake

& 

your chocolate cake

Using a 1/4 measuring cup,

start in the middle of a greased 9 in pan

(I used 2 - 9 in pans)

alternate between pink and chocolate

Pouring in in the middle everytime

I was too cautious at first,

and towards the end I realized

that I needed to fill the

measuring cup pretty full

Anyway, it still looks cool..

&

very zebra-ish

I made a traditional buttercream frosting

This pink frosting is very 1980's

I think I might try it again with chocolate frosting

for a more toned down version

..but c'mon

this is pretty fun and amazing

Stay tuned ...

there will definitely be more
