Leopard Print Cake

 

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk

For the Leopard Print Design:

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Cake Batter:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
    • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  2. Prepare the Leopard Print Batter:
    • In a small bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until smooth and well combined. This will be used for the leopard print design.
    • Transfer the cocoa mixture to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip.
  3. Create the Leopard Print Design:
    • Pour a thin layer of the plain cake batter into the prepared cake pan.
    • Pipe small irregular circles and lines with the cocoa mixture onto the batter. These will form the leopard spots.
    • Gently pour another layer of plain cake batter over the design.
    • Repeat the process of piping the cocoa mixture and adding layers of plain cake batter until all the batter is used, ending with a layer of plain cake batter.
  4. Bake the Cake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. Serve:
    • Once the cake is completely cool, slice and serve to reveal the beautiful leopard print design inside.

Enjoy your impressive and delicious leopard print cake!
