I put the stripe into the cake

Earlier this week I had a serious dilemma, what cake should I make? I looked through endless amounts of cookbooks but none of them suited the mood I was in. After looking through cookbooks for what felt like an eternity (don't get me wrong all of the cakes looked mouth watering. But I felt like making something different-and we only had the basic ingredients in the house at the time) I then stumbled across Lorraine Pascales zebra cake. My mouth dropped, I knew that this would be my mission to make this master piece of a cake. Once I had gathered my self together I started to prepare the ingredients;to my relief the cake recipe wasn't to complex and it was rather quick to make. But when it got to constructing the cake-holy macaroni- you don't want to know the stress I went through when it came down to constructing this cake. I'm overreacting? I think not. To construct the cake I had to pipe a small dollop of the chocolate mix into the center of the baking tin and then inside this chocolate dollop put a small dollop of the plain mix in the middle of it, I had to keep doing this until the cake mix was finished. Although I shouldn't complain to much,it was to be fair a great chance for me to catch up on my less than average singing skills-which I'm sure the neighbors just loved-once the mission of constructing this cake was finished I felt a sigh of relief, carefully I then placed the cake in the oven. The wait was agonizing but well worth it, once I took the marbled top cake out of the oven, I sliced it into bigger than average pieces of course, and when I sliced into the ingenious stripes which filled the cake all I could bring myself to say was I really did put the stripe into the cake. Appearance aside the cake was very scrummy however a little dry as you can probably tell from the picture. If I was to make this cake again (which I defiantly will, and you should too) I will alter the recipe to try and get the cake to be less dry.
