I made it last night and frosted it this morning. When I made it I had a lot more "white" left over and ran out of the chocolate so the center of the cake was missing the zebra pattern. I see that in the future I'll have to use more white than brown but the recipe seems to convey an equal amount of each. Still, the pattern came out fine and it was a real conversation piece. I missed the flavor of butter in the cake. Because there was so much oil used, I found the cake part was actually rather tasteless. Is there a way to make the cake recipe with butter? Ellie You could try substituting melted butter for the oil, but getting the zebra pattern relies on the batter being thin. Molly @ KAF
