Zebra Bundt for Swirly June #BundtaMonth

Zebra Bundt

This month is Swirly June, so I decided to attempt a difficult cake, Zebra Bundt, some thing that I have seen a few times but have never attempted.

Well, it didn’t turn out to be a fabulous success, I have to admit. Yes, I have some swirls but they are not even. I also did find the cake to be kind of dry. I really do like adding a yogurt, sour cream or pudding mix to my bundts but this recipe didn’t call for it. There is room to improve. I will have to try it again!!

Zebra Bundt

I think this cake does take a few times to master. You have to have consistent layering and consistent batter for both the different batters.

I found the chocolate to be thinner than the vanilla batter and therefore they ran differently. It tasted great but was a bit dry. I did use it again in another recipe to make desserts in jars and there I liked it better as it had a kirsch drizzle on it. See that one big thick layer of chocolate near the bottom.

I would like the strips or swirls to be that thick right through. Less swirls and more pronounced. The Kaluha glaze is amazing by the way!! Oh well, back to the drawing board.

    Ooo!! Your cake is the swirliest of all! You did an amazing job. Love the zebra stripes and the simplicity of chocolate and vanilla together. But oh that glaze! Looooove the kahlua glaze!

    Well, it looks good and has great swirls. Too bad it’s not as you would like it.

    This Ninja Baker votes that Ms. Tara of Noshing with the Nolands had a huge success! The zebra stripes are there =) And I bet the Kahlua glaze is yummy. If you don’t give yourself an A+, please give yourself a solid A, my friend.

    Maybe it didn’t come out exactly as you envisioned but it’s pretty darn wonderful. I thought I had the swirliest cake this month but yours beats it! 🙂 Oh, and Kahlua glaze? Yes, please. 🙂

    I think your drawing board was just perfect this time. 🙂 No need to go back to it, at least in the looks department. What beautiful stripes!

    Your cake looks gorgeous! You did a wonderful job! If’ it’s a little dry, just add a scoop of ice cream to it! I know I would love it!

    I think your cake turned out really well! You are too hard on yourself. Good point about the chocolate and vanilla batters being of different consistency– I will have to pay attention to that the next time I bake another swirl cake.

      Thanks Holly, I am hard on myself. I guess I just had a different vision as to how it was to turn out. It is pretty though with the strips.

    Don’t be so hard on yourself–it looks great! I do find homemade cake to be much harder to keep moist than, say, box mix. Eek! Trial and error, right?
