Zebra cupcakes are made with the addition of yoghurt, which gives them a delicate texture and a light, creamy taste. Moreover, they are perfectly moist after baking, and the addition of cocoa gives them even more flavour. They look really impressive and are cost-effective - just alternate two types of batter.

They taste great on their own, but you can also decorate them with glaze, cream, or fruit. They are perfect for special occasions, children's parties, family gatherings, or simple afternoon snacks.

Ingredients:

  • 125 ml natural yoghurt,
  • 2 eggs,
  • 80 ml vegetable oil,
  • 100 g sugar,
  • 150 g all-purpose flour,
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder,
  • 2 teaspoons cocoa powder,
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Preparation:

Step 1. Transfer the yoghurt into a large bowl, add the sugar, eggs, and oil, and mix thoroughly. Then sift the flour with the baking powder and mix well or blend.
