Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 150 grams Granulated sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or stevia blend)
- 240 grams Unsweetened plain Greek yogurt
- 180 milliliters Milk (can use dairy-free milk, if preferred)
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 20 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 80 milliliters Vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In another mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar substitute, yogurt, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until smooth.
Step 4
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Divide the batter evenly into two separate bowls. In one bowl, add the unsweetened cocoa powder and mix until fully incorporated, creating a chocolate batter. Leave the other bowl as is for the vanilla batter.
Step 6
To create the zebra pattern, start by pouring 2 tablespoons of vanilla batter into the center of the prepared cake pan. Then, pour 2 tablespoons of chocolate batter directly on top of the vanilla batter. Continue alternating batters in this way, always pouring into the center, until all the batter is used up.
Step 7
Gently tap the pan on the counter a few times to remove air bubbles and ensure the batter evens out.
Step 8
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Slice and enjoy your sugar-free zebra cake as a healthier treat or dessert option!
