Zebra Cake - Cross Section

 To make a cake with zebra stripes on the inside, start with a white cake mix and split the batter in half.  Add cocoa and a little oil to one half.  I can't say how much, just taste a dab and see if you like it.  Alternate pools of white and chocolate batter on top of each other.  When you are done, shake the pan gently to get the batter to the edges of the pan.  In hindsight, I would have reserved more white than the chocolate because it seemed like the chocolate batter overwhelmed the cake.  They were also a little flatter than I'd hoped, but that didn't bother the birthday girl :)

Everything pink in this photo is actually red.  We made jello poke cupcakes for our 4th of July patriotic dessert.  I followed the instructions on this website.  In hindsight, I was way too conservative with the jello and could have added a lot more.  But they were easy to make and liked by all.
