300th post - Checkerboard Cake

Description

K and I are passionate about cakes! We like it when the cake is moist and not dense, so everytime we eat cake, we have a detailed conversation about it after it has been eaten LOL. We are that serious! Sometimes I think we are cake critics, cause we are always on the hunt for the best cake out here ...

Cooking Time

Preparation Time :0 Min

Cook Time : 0 Min

Total Time : 0 Min

Ingredients

Serves :
  • 1 vanilla cake


  • 1 chocolate cake


  • frosting of your choice

Directions

  • You also need two circular objects ex: a cup or a lid, cookie cutters... use your imagination!
  • Follow any recipe to bake the two cakes. If you can't be bothered with lots of baking, use store bought cake mix =). Bake the cakes seperately, and once done allow it to cool. I cut them right in the middle horizontally and you will end up with 4 layers: 2 of the vanilla and 2 of the chocolate
  • Now for the next step, we are going to cut out the circles! I used a lid to cut out a circle, and then used a smaller cutter and placed that in the middle. So in my case, I placed the lid about an inch from the edge, and then put the circle cookie cutter on the inside, an inch from the edge
  • Gently press down with your choice of cutters, until the cake is cut, and slowly remove the cake circles. You should have three circles from one layer
  • Did that make sense?
  • Next we are going to make two designs
  • Vanilla, chocolate, Vanilla
  • Chocolate, Vanilla, Chocolate
  • Hope the picture below explains what I have done
  • Finally time to assemble the cake. Grab a plate or a cake stand, and place your first layer (either design 1 or 2). Cover it with some frosting. I used vanilla frosting. Then add the next layer followed by the frosting. Repeat with the other two, alternating the colours
  • After the stacking is done, I added a little bit of frosting onto the outside of the cake and placed it in the fridge for about 15mins. Pull it out again, and then frost away! I stuck it back in the fridge cause it was a warmer day here
  • Cut the first slice and voila, check out the check board design on the inside
