CHOCOLATE WAFER ICE BOX CAKE

Steps:

• Whip 1 1/2 cups of the cream, 1/4 cup of the confectioners sugar and the vanilla together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until you have soft peaks.
• Stack 6 cookies on top of each other, spreading about 1 tablespoon whipped cream on top of each wafer, and topping the final wafer in the stack with some whipped cream.
• Repeat until you have 6 stacks of 6 wafers.
• Lay the cookie stack on their sides, next to each other, on a rimmed baking sheet to make a 14" log.
• Wrap the log in plastic wrap and freeze till firm, at least 6 hours.
• When ready, combine the remaining 1 1/4 cups heavy cream, the remaining 1/4 cup confectioners sugar, and the cocoa powder in a medium bowl and whip with mixer until it holds stiff peaks.
• Spread the cocoa whipped cream evenly over the log.
• Loosen the cake from the baking sheet with a wide spatula and carefully transfer to a long serving platter.
• Let stand at room temperature for 15-20 min before slicing.
• Sprinkle the nonpareils just before serving because they might bleed from the moisture.

CHOCOLATE-AND-VANILLA ZEBRA CAKE

Steps:

• Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush two 9-inch round cake pans with butter. Line bottoms of pans with parchment rounds; brush parchment with butter.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined, 30 seconds. In a large bowl, whisk together egg whites and granulated sugar until light, opaque, and foamy, about 2 minutes. Whisk in 1 1/2 cups milk, butter, oil, and vanilla until smooth. Add flour mixture; whisk until smooth. In another large bowl, whisk together egg yolks, 1/3 cup milk, and cocoa. Add 3 1/4 cups of vanilla batter to cocoa mixture and whisk until smooth. Whisk remaining scant 3 tablespoons milk into remaining vanilla batter.
• Spoon 1/4 cup vanilla batter into center of each prepared pan. Spoon 1/4 cup chocolate batter into each center, directly on top of vanilla batter. Repeat, always spooning batter into centers of pans, and occasionally tapping pan firmly on work surface to ensure even distribution, until all batter is used (batters should appear as concentric rings).
• Bake, rotating pans halfway through, until cakes are puffed slightly and a tester inserted into centers comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer pans to a wire rack; let cool 10 minutes. Turn cakes out onto rack, remove parchment, and let cool completely.
• Frosting: Meanwhile, whisk together cocoa, espresso powder, salt, hot water, and vanilla until a smooth paste forms. Beat butter with confectioners' sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Beat in chocolate, then cocoa mixture and corn syrup, until smooth.
• Trim tops of cakes flat. Transfer one cake, trimmed-side up, to a cake plate or stand lined with parchment strips. Spread 3/4 cup frosting evenly over top. Place remaining cake layer on top, trimmed-side down. Spread remaining frosting evenly over top and sides of cake. Remove parchment strips; serve. Cake can be stored, uncovered, at room temperature up to 12 hours, or refrigerated, uncovered, up to 2 days; bring to room temperature before serving.

ZEBRA CAKE

Steps:

• Take two chocolate wafers and sandwich them together with half a teaspoon of whipped topping. Put an additional half teaspoon on top of the top cookie. Set this stack down on its side on a plate and continue stacking sideways until you have a 14-inch long log. On the outside, frost the remaining whipped topping so that it covers the rest of the cake.
• Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for about five hours. Take it out and let it thaw in the fridge for 1 hour.
• Slice it. On the inside, it will be striped. Just like a zebra!

GIANT ZEBRA 'BOX' CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine the whipped cream and marshmallow fluff. Beat with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
• Use a serrated knife to carefully remove the domed top from the cakes, leaving a flat, even surface. Save the scraps for later - you can eat them with leftover melted chocolate or crumbled over ice cream.
• Spread the filling over the bottom cake, leaving about ¾-inch (2 cm) border around the edge. Place the other cake upside down on top of the filling.
• Trim the cake into a hexagon. Transfer the cake to a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
• Make the coating: Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low. Combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a medium heatproof bowl and set it over the pan (make sure the bottom of the bowl isn't touching the water). When the white chocolate and coconut oil begin to melt, mix together until smooth. Be careful, as the bowl will be very hot.
• Pour the melted white chocolate mixture over the cake. Use a knife to spread to the edges and down the sides. Once smooth, run a knife under the edges of the cake so it doesn't stick to the rack and place the cake in the refrigerator until the coating is set, 10-15 minutes.
• Transfer the melted dark chocolate chips to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner snipped off. Carefully pipe chocolate zebra stripes onto the cake. Return to the refrigerator to set for 10-15 minutes. Remove the cake once the stripes are dry.
• To serve, slowly and carefully slice with a serrated knife so the shell doesn't crack. Score the slices with a paring knife before cutting to make it easier, if needed.
• Enjoy!
