Zebra cake (gluten free, vegan)

I have been craving real marble cake for a long period of time. I thought the problem was to obtain a cake dry enough. I baked once beetroot pound cake or mango & apple pound cake but it has never been so “sandy” and dry that crumbles a liitle. The most important fact is that I didn’t know it’s such easy and a main secret of a perfect pound cake is to add enough starch!  I baked it on Saturday, today is Monday and I baked it again in a different version. I exchanged xylitol for sugar, corn flour for ground oats and tapioca starch for potato starch. I definetely say, the first version was great, so dry.  For me erythrytol is a better choice because I don’t feel the bitter taste like with xylitol. The second one with oat flour was mowe wet.

Why not to make it in a zebra cake pattern? Take a look at the recipe!
