These pastries are found in bakeries and home kitchens throughout Greece and are often eaten at breakfast time or with coffee. They are thought to have originated in Macedonia where the idea had come from Constantinople ( Istanbul ). They can be made with different fillings which meant they offered versatility and flexibility to working families and are quite quick and easy to make. Like many Greek dishes, different regions make their own versions. These ones are filled with the popular semolina custard while others can be made with a sweet cheese filling, which is very similar to Tyropita ( cheese pies). These are also made with Filo pastry which is common today but sometimes puff pastry may be used.
I had assumed that there was some intricate skewer work involved in obtaining the zebra pattern. Instead the method was even more fascinating and involved dropping three tablespoons of batter, alternating with cream and chocolate batter to somehow miraculously produce this gorgeous striped Zebra effect. It was one of those things that the original recipe creator AZ Cookbook said "PLEASE USE THE FOLLOWING RECIPE WITH CONFIDENCE! ITS BEEN TESTED AND TRIED BY YOURS TRULY MANY TIME NOW TO GUARANTEE AMAZING RESULTS! ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE EMAIL ME!". Ok I had to have faith, after all.

Temperatures for the ingredients are important here. Not too warm to cook the eggs before baking, and not cold either. You can use either confectioner's sugar or regular sugar, use the same amount by weight but the volume will be different. If you use regular sugar, 150g will equal 3/4 cup. A few more notes on making the cake: When adding the milk, we found it easier and less messy to gently hand whip them in instead of using the stand mixer. It is a very liquidy batter, and for us it splattered everywhere even at the slowest speed. For folding in the whites, it is done with more of a gentle whisk/folding motion with the whisk since the batter is so runny. The whites will look a little curd like after mixing them in, just try to mix/fold them to the point where there is no big chunks. Because of the custard-like center, when fully baked, there will be a bit of a jiggle, but not a sloppy jiggle to the cake when gently shook. Same after it has cooled. That's about it. Have fun and every time we've made the magic custard cakes, going into the oven we don't think they will work correctly, and after baking they are magically perfect. Makes one 8"x8" Cake.

While not difficult to make, this is a multi-step, highly involved cake that requires planning ahead. Please read through the instructions and the notes in the bottom of the recipe before starting. Note that the frosting calls for a can of Dulce De Leche, which is readily sold in some countries. If it's not available where you live, you can make your own with sweetened condensed milk. Just know that it takes 4 hours to cook, so plan ahead and make it as far as a month in advance. The finished cake, needs to chill overnight in the fridge before serving.
