This on-trend cake by Britt Box (shewhobakes.co.uk) has a striking black and white pattern on the outside with a psychedelic surprise inside, taking the classic zebra print to another level!

F or this cake, I’ve used an 18cm (7in) round tin with enough mix for a 20cm (8in) tin. I find that once you separate the mixture into six bowls to make the rainbow colours and transfer them back to the tin, you sometimes lose a little. To compensate for this, I made more to begin with.
