Vanilla and Chocolate Striped Butter Layer Cake
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease and flour two 20cm round cake pans.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Divide the batter in half. In one half, stir in the cocoa powder and hot water until well combined.
-
Spoon alternate dollops of the vanilla and chocolate batters into the prepared cake pans, creating a striped pattern.
-
Use a knife to swirl the batters together, creating a marbled effect.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once cooled, dust the cakes with powdered sugar before serving.
