When done then pour quarter of the prepared mixture into the other bowl and add coco powder in it. Now you will be having two mixtures i.e. vanilla and chocolate.

Milk = 1 cup

Baking Flour = 2 cups

Baking Powder = 2 teaspoons

Take round shaped 9 inch baking pan, grease it with butter and line it with butter paper. Take 1/4 cup of the vanilla mixture and pour it in the centre of the pan. It will spread itself so do not wait for it to spread or shake the pan either. Then take the 1/4 cup of chocolate mixture and pour it in the centre of vanilla mixture. Keep on pouring the two mixtures alternatively in their centres. When done then bake the mixture at 200 centigrade for 25 minutes and enjoy the delicious zebra cake with coffee or tea.
