For the first time having tasted a striped biscuit cake, it’s hard not to start looking for a recipe. I would like to surprise my beloved with beautiful and delicious pastries for tea drinking. No need to go far. Here are interesting and simple instructions on how to bake a Zebra pie without sour cream. We read, repeat and enjoy the splendor of taste.
On fat kefir
Inexpensive and yet delicious. Does not contain butter or margarine. The recipe for the classic cake "Zebra" on kefir implies the presence of the following components:
- eggs - 2 pieces;
- high fat kefir - 1 cup;
- sugar - 200-230 grams;
- premium flour - half a kilogram;
- cocoa powder - 5-6 tablespoons with a slide;
- a pinch of salt - so that the dessert does not turn out too cloying;
- soda - a quarter of a teaspoon.
Technological process
We arm ourselves with a mixer or whisk. These tools will greatly help in creating a Zebra pie without sour cream.
In a deep bowl or a small saucepan (whichever is more convenient) we will prepare the basis - the dough of one color. Break the eggs and mix them hard with sugar.
As soon as the sugar crystals disappear, you can add the entire rate of kefir indicated in the list of components. Gradually intervene at low speeds until a homogeneous emulsion is formed. Now pour the soda and distribute it in the egg-kefir mixture. We are completing the creation of a white base for the Zebra cake without sour cream, adding all the necessary amount of flour. Do not forget that the ingredient should be sieved through a sieve. You can do this in advance or directly in the process of mixing the batter.
Cocoa powder: rules for adding
We take an additional cup, which will include exactly half the mass of the resulting dough. We merge this half. Set aside the light and make chocolate. This is not difficult. We need to add all the cocoa powder. It is better to start the procedure carefully. Remember that this substance is very volatile. Do not make sudden movements and mix the powder one spoon at a time. It is also worth considering that a dry product is taken out of the container only with a dry spoon, and also interferes with the composition of the test with a spoon, but another.
The result of our work will be two tanks. In one is light dough. The second is filled with chocolate.
Zebra Formation
Turn on the oven. While the equipment is warming up, we, too, will not waste time in vain. The formation of a pie "Zebra" without sour cream will require us responsibility and at the same time leisurely. But in reality, everything happens a little faster and even more interesting.
Lubricate a suitable cake pan with vegetable oil. Set exactly on the plane. In one part of the batter, drop a tablespoon. With the second part we do the same. The matter remains small: first we will take a spoonful of dark dough, carefully transfer it to the central part of the baking dish and pour it directly into the middle. We wait a few seconds, watching the dough begin to creep along the bottom of the form. Now take a spoonful of light dough. As in the case described above, we carry it to the center to pour on the dark. Again we are waiting for some time. And now two circles diverge in the form for baking a pie.
A zebra according to the recipe without sour cream is considered formed when all layers in the described order were transferred from deep bowls to the mold. It remains to place it in a hot oven. The temperature inside is 180-190 degrees. But how much to bake a zebra pie in the oven depends on your oven. But usually this time at the indicated temperature is 1 hour. Readiness can be checked with a wooden speck.
Let the cake cool slightly and take it out of the mold after 15-20 minutes. You can decorate the product with glaze or coat with cream. But in its original form it is also very good.
In milk and vegetable oil
Such a zebra pie recipe is the simplest in terms of composition. The lightness and friability of the product contributed to the popularization of this method of preparation in our country during the Union. But today, this instruction is popular and loved. What is needed from the products:
- vegetable oil for processing molds - 1 tablespoon;
- eggs - 4 pieces (it is better to take those that are larger);

- non-aromatic vegetable oil - 250 milliliters;
- vanilla sugar - a standard pack;
- flour - 480 grams;
- loosening powder - 2 teaspoons;
- cocoa powder - 6 tablespoons with top.
How to cook
To create a dough, you need deep, roomy dishes. We break eggs into its bowels, pour out salt, mix the components, not very zealous. Now add sugar. It takes effort. We interfere until the sugar crystals are about to disappear.
The next step is to add vegetable oil and vanilla sugar.
Sift the flour and baking powder. We mix bulk components into a liquid composition. Beat one and a half minutes at a low mixer speed. The resulting homogeneous mass is divided into two parts. One stays bright. In the second, respectively, we introduce in small portions the whole cocoa powder.
The formation of the cake and its baking are made as described in the recipe above in the article. You can ease the task and instead of one tablespoon of a particular color of dough, spread two tablespoons of the base one by one. Product strips will be wider.

The recipe below explains how to bake a homemade beautiful and sweet dessert with your favorite kitchen helper. Before proceeding with practical actions, you need to make sure that there is such a product range:

Dough
To make the dough from the ingredients for the zebra pie, combine the eggs and sugar. Beat the mass with a mixer until splendid. Melt the margarine in the microwave. We introduce it into the future dough along with kefir and soda. Again, mix everything hard. Add vanillin and a pinch of salt.
Sift all the flour. Gradually, in small portions, knead it in the dough. The result was a homogeneous mixture. As in previous cases, we make dark dough (with cocoa) and light.
Baking products in a multicooker
We process the non-stick bowl of the apparatus. We use vegetable oil or butter for this procedure. You can even coat the dishes with margarine. Lightly heat the bowl on the "Preheat" program. Enough half a minute. This is necessary to more quickly spread the liquid layers of dough throughout the radius of the bowl.
We spread the multi-colored base for the pie, one tablespoon or two, if you want to get thicker strips and at the same time slightly reduce the time of refueling the multicooker. When all the dough is in the bowl, cover the lid. It is advisable to cook according to the Baking program. Different machines may have their own time for baking. Remembering that the top of the multicooker does not heat up, the total baking time of the cake will be 1 hour 20 minutes. Turning the cake over is optional. Take the finished product out of the multicooker using a steaming grid. Such an element is in every model. Leave the cake to cool. If desired, you can cover it with icing or brush with boiled condensed milk. The most uncomplicated variation of the decoration is to sprinkle the pastries with powdered sugar.

Sift flour, loosening powder and starch. Pour the resulting composition from dry ingredients into water. And now we need to stir everything in such a way as to avoid the appearance of lumps of flour. We give this manipulation as much time as it takes to create a homogeneous batter.
Divide the result into two containers. Pour into one of the containers of cocoa. It also needs to be mixed no less gently and make sure that cocoa lumps do not turn out.
Lubricate the mold. Preheat the oven. Fill the cake pan with the dough, as in all previous recipes.
