Tiger Cake is a true Swedish classic. Most kids love it, and it’s easy to make. Spongecakes in general is a huge hit, and in our house we make them all the time. Before I’ve posted recipes on this lemon and strawberry spongecake, chocolate sponge cake and a brown sugar and peach spongecake. This “tiger cake” is a chocolate and vanilla spongecake, where the flavors are separated and then swirled in the mold. to spice it up, I used chocolate chips in the cake. White chocolate in the vanilla batter, dark chocolate in the chocolate batter, and milk chocolate in-between. The cake turns out moist, delicious and chocolaty, perfect for breakfast, lunch and dinner 🙂
