Try this clever trick to make the perfect zebra cake!

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Ready 2 large plastic bottles, cleaned and dried.
Add 1 cup of flour to each bottle.
Add 1/2 cup of sugar to each.
Melt butter, then add equal halves to each bottle.
Add 6 eggs, 3 in each.
Add 1/2 tbsp of baking powder to each.
Add 1/2 cup of heavy cream to each.
Shake the bottles thoroughly until the contents are well mixed.
