Prepare the Cocoa Mixture
- In a small bowl, sift 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder and mix it with 2 tablespoons of milk to form a smooth cocoa paste.
3 Layer the Cake
- Divide the prepared cake batter into two portions.
- In the baking tray, pour the first portion of the batter.
- Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla essence to the second portion and pour it over the first layer.
- Then, add 1 tablespoon of the cocoa mixture and alternate the layers with the vanilla and cocoa batters. Continue layering until all the batter and cocoa mixture is used up.
4 Bake the Cake
- Place the cake in the preheated oven at 165°C (330°F) and bake for about 30-40 minutes.
- To check if the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
5 Cool and Serve
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
- Slice and serve once it's completely cooled.
