Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make Zebra pie without sour cream in the oven? Measure out the required ingredients. All products should be at room temperature. Take the kefir out of the refrigerator in advance; it can be of any fat content.

Step 2

Step 2
Mix flour with baking powder and sift. This will saturate the flour with air bubbles, and the cake will rise well when baking. Set aside two tablespoons of flour

Step 3

Step 3
Beat the eggs with a mixer with sugar, vanilla sugar and salt until fluffy. Be sure to wash your eggs before using them, as even seemingly clean shells can harbor harmful bacteria.

Step 4

Step 4
Pour kefir and vegetable oil into the egg mass, mix at low speed with a mixer until smooth.

Step 5

Step 5
Add the flour sifted with baking powder and mix the flour into the dough at low mixer speed.

Step 6

Step 6
The dough turns out to be medium thick, like not very thick sour cream.

Step 7

Step 7
Divide the dough into two parts, you can use a kitchen scale. Add the previously set aside two tablespoons of flour to one part of the dough and mix until smooth.

Step 8

Step 8
Sift cocoa into another part of the dough. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous chocolate dough.

Step 9

Step 9
Any heat-resistant pan will work for this recipe. If you are using a silicone mold, you do not need to coat it with oil. But it is better to lightly grease metal, ceramic or glass dishes with vegetable oil so that the baked goods do not burn. I used a mold with a diameter of 20 cm. Place two tablespoons of light dough in the center of the mold. Hold the spoon vertically.

Step 10

Step 10
Place two tablespoons of cocoa batter in the middle of the light dough. The dough will lie in circles and form a pattern.

Step 11

Step 11
Thus, alternating light and dark dough, fill the entire form.

Step 12

Step 12
Bake the pie in an oven preheated to 170 C for 50-55 minutes. Check readiness with a wooden skewer. It should come out dry from the middle of the pie, without any adhering dough particles. If the pie is browned but still damp in the middle, cover the pan with a layer of foil and bake until done. Unfortunately, the top of my pie came apart, but this did not affect the taste of the baked goods. Remove the finished pie from the mold and let cool.

Step 13

Step 13
Cut the Zebra pie into pieces and serve. Bon appetit!
