4. Mix.

Assembly 

1. Grease the cake tin and line with baking paper.
2. Fill one piping bag with the vanilla mixture and another with the cocoa mixture. 
3. Fill the bottom of the cake tin with one third of the vanilla mixture, then add half of the cocoa mixture lengthwise into the middle of the vanilla mixture.
4. Pipe in another third of vanilla mixture and put the rest of the chocolate mixture in the middle. 
5. Finish off by layering the final third of vanilla mixture across the top.
6. Use a knife dipped in melted butter to make a split in the cake’s surface to help it rise in the oven.
7. Bake at 150°C (Gas Mark 2) for approx. 60 minutes.
8. Check it is fully baked by piercing the cake with a knife – If it comes out clean, the cake is ready. Turn out onto a rack and leave it on its side for 10 minutes so it keeps its shape.
