Zebra Butter Cake


My mom love to eat butter cake. And knowing that her daughter can bake, she has been requesting me to bake her a butter cake for a very long time. This is definitely the longest overdue request from her. I am so relieved that I've finally baked her a butter cake. (I am sorry that it took me so long, mom!)

Usually, my mom will not have any comment for food. Whether it is nice or super yummylicious, when she has been asked how's the food, she will just says, "It's ok."

So, when she told me that she likes the texture of the cake ~ soft and moist, I was flabbergasted. It was the first time I get a feedback from her.

This recipe is adapted from my previous Chocolate Butter Marble Cake recipe with some minor adjustment to fit an 8" cake tin and added some coffee powder for additional flavor. Hope you'll enjoy my recipe!
