Tiger bundt cake

Finnish tiger cake is really tasty.

Tiger cake, or tiikerikakku in Finnish, is a bundt cake that most likely gets its name from the chocoloate stripes that mimics the ones to a tiger.

This recipe is good for a bundt pan size of 1,5l:

250 g butter
2 dl sugar
3 eggs
3,5 dl flour
2 tsp vanilla sugar
2 tsp baking powder

For the stripes:

1/3 of the dough
3 tbsp raw cocoa powder
3 tbsp cream or milk

Mix the butter and sugar until it becomes foam. Mix the eggs and continue mixing. Mix the flour, vanilla sugar and baking powder together and then mix it to the butter-egg foam.

Take 1/3 of the dough and mix some raw cocoa powder and cream or milk to it. Mix well.

Take a bundt pan and smear butter inside it. Then sprinkle finely grounded bread crumbs on the butter. Spread some white dough on the pan and on it some chocolate dough. Finish with white dough and cook about an hour at 175 ºC.

Smear butter inside of the pan and then
bread crumbs on the butter. This prevents
the dough sticking to the pan.

Cook for about 1 hour at 175 ºC.

Tiger cake gets its name from the beautiful
chocolate stripes.
