Beat the eggs well with melted butter and sugar until the mixture is creamy.

For Zebra strip effect:

 

Now pour 2 tblsp of plain batter in the center of the baking pan.

Then pour 2 tblsp of cocoa batter on top of the vanilla batter in the center.

 

Keep on pouring both the batter alternatively until all the batter is over. Final picture of the cake batter before going into the oven.
