Chocolate and Vanilla Zebra cake

For me, making small cake is more fun, because it's cute and I can make it more often ^^.

So, the pans that I always keep in the kitchen are 15, 18 and 20 cm pans, I think they are the best size to start when you buying pan for starting your baking life ^^, as you can create endless recipe with only 3 pans. 15 cm pan may sound too small, but if you just baking for your family, the amount of this pan is the best. 
Today I make very easy cake that can be fitted into 15 cm pan, plus you don't need electronic hand mixer for making it too, the only equipments that you really need are a whisk and a sifter, hehe. Because this recipe use oil as a base, it's easier to mix the batter, just everything until combine, that's all.
Making zebra pattern for the cake is not complicated, or I can say it's too easy, haha, all you have to do is spoon the batter into the center of the pan alternately, and you get very cute zebra cake! You can use this easy technique to make zebra pattern in other recipe too, ^^.
