Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line jellyroll pan with parchment paper.
• With an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until well combined and light in color. (About 5-7 minutes.)
• Add one egg and 3 egg yolks and mix until combined. Add vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Alternate adding dry mixture and milk to the mixing bowl ending with the dry ingredients. Do not overmix or cake will be tough.
• Spread cake batter evenly and thinly into jellyroll pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes until toothpick comes out of cake clean.
• Remove from oven and cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing from pan. After cake fully cools, cut into 2 inch squares.
• Whisk egg whites and cream of tartar with electric mixer until light and fluffy and forms stiff peaks. While egg whites are mixing, continue to the next step.
• Place water, sugar, and light corn syrup into a medium sized saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Insert candy thermometer into side of pan.
• Bring mixture to 240 degrees and stir occasionally only in the center of pan. Touching sides will create crystals.
• Remove mixture from heat once temperature is reached. Allow to rest for 3-5 minutes. Turn electric mixer (on medium speed) with whisk attachment and slowly stream cooked mixture into the egg whites. Make sure to add to center of bowl.
• Once all the cooked mixture has been added continue to whisk on medium speed for 5-7 minutes or until the filling is glossy. Add vanilla. Add filling on the top of one cake square and sandwich with another. When all are assembled, refrigerate cakes for 30 minutes before adding icing. (Remaining filling will store nicely for 5-7 days in an airtight container.)
• Place white chips into a microwave safe bowl and select the melt setting. Stop and stir every 30 seconds to avoid overcooking. When white chocolate is fully melted, take a frosting spreader or butter knife, and thinly add a layer over each cake. The chocolate will harden quickly, so you may have to reheat.
• After the white chocolate has set, melt the dark chocolate in another bowl and pipe lines over white cakes. Zebra cakes can be stored in an airtight container for up to 7 days. Enjoy!

LITTLE DEBBIE CAKES

Steps:

• Make the cake mix as directed on the box, but instead of making in cake pan, bake in a jelly roll pan to make the layers. Cut with cookie cutters when cool. Store the leftover crumbs in a zip top bag for other uses.
• While the cakes are baking, make the middle. Combine the first 3 ingredients and beat on high for 5 minutes, gradually adding the milk and vanilla. Beat 5 more minutes on high. Spread between two cut-outs.
• Stir together all the icing ingredients. Place the cut-outs on a wire rack above a pan or plate to catch the drippings. Spoon the icing over the cake and let it drizzle over the sides, making sure to coat all the surfaces.
• Decorate while still "wet" before it sets.
