Zebra Cupcakes

After looking around on blogs, I was impressed by the big cakes that of the zebra cake. By placing alternate spoonfuls of white and chocolate batters produces an effective stripe pattern within the cake. I was wondering what the effect would be if done on a smaller scale of just a cupcake. So I set out on this task making the zebra cupcake..... Although I didn't like the taste, but I did forget to put in the vanilla in the batter in the effort of excitement of trying to finish them.!! I changed the recipe in that I put in 1 tblspn of vinegar in the cup of milk. I also only used alternate teaspoons of each batter, which seemed to be a bit tedious so I filled the cupcakes in each tray with the same layer of batter so 6 teaspoons of white in each of 6 cupcakes then chocolate of the same 6 and so forth. Next time I will tap the tray before going into the oven to remove any bubbles that may have been produced to keep the texture even in density.
