Zebra Cake

Recipe View 5 mins Assemble your ingredients (5 minutes).

Recipe View 7 mins In a chilled glass or metal bowl, using an electric mixer, whip the heavy cream on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form (5-7 minutes). Be careful not to overwhip! (5-7 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins Spread a generous teaspoon of whipped cream evenly onto one side of each chocolate wafer cookie (10 minutes).

Recipe View 10 mins Press the cream-covered sides of the cookies together to form stacks of about 3-inch high logs (10 minutes).

Recipe View 5 mins Spread a 1-inch wide line of whipped cream down the center of your serving platter. This will act as the 'glue' for your zebra log. Place the cookie stacks sideways, joining them end-to-end to create a continuous log. Nestle the log into the whipped cream base to secure (5 minutes).

Recipe View 10 mins Frost the entire cookie log with the remaining whipped cream, creating a smooth and even layer. Sprinkle generously with the finely grated dark chocolate (10 minutes).

Recipe View 8 hrs Cover the cake tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cookies to soften and the flavors to meld (8 hours to overnight).

Recipe View To serve, slice the cake diagonally into 1-inch thick slices to reveal the striking zebra stripes. Enjoy!
