The Zebra cake with glaze is a delightful treat that pleases not only with its taste but also with its unique striped pattern. It got its name due to the alternating light and chocolate batter resembling a zebra's coloring. This recipe comes from Russian cuisine and has become a favorite dessert at home and festive tables. The tender batter made from sour cream and butter gives it softness, while cocoa adds a rich chocolate flavor. The bitter chocolate glaze makes the cake even more exquisite, giving it deep sweetness with a slight bitterness. Perfect for family tea times or special occasions when you want to delight loved ones with something beautiful and tasty.
