Checkerboard Cake

I was given a voucher for Decobake for my birthday. I decided to use it to buy a kit to make checkerboard cake.

 We had exam results this week and that called for cake to celebrate so I decided to have a go.
As I needed to fill 3 tins I doubled a Victoria sponge mix. The mix was divided in 3 and I added yellow to one section and orange to another. I found at all a bit messy as the divider had to be washed between filling each tin.


As you can see it did not turn out like the picture on the box.



I think the only way I am going to get perfect squares is to bake 3 coloured sponges and use the divider to cut them. It is such a big cake that, that experiment is going to have to wait until there is another special occasion.

    Dear Cookie
    That looks amazing (even if it isn't quite as chequerboard as you hoped!). I bet it tastes good too!
    Best wishes

    Perfection is over rated. I like the look of your cake and I bet it tasted lovely.

      You would have to fight my lot off to get anywhere near it.
