Been a little lazy lately plus I was busy making plans for a holiday trip with my mum and my good friend, KJL. Another four days, I will be out of town again.... Yay!!! Well, before I leave my blog in the cold for 2 weeks, I shall attempt to bake something which I have been wanting to explore for ages: Checkerboard cake. I made checkerboard cookies last year and all my friends were amazed how I did that. They were a real show stopper anytime during parties.
I followed the recipe from Joy of Baking. Every step is the same except that I used cocoa powder for my chocolate batter (3/4 cup). The batter is not enough for my 3rd cake tray. It is so anti-climax. I used the remaining batter for marble cup cakes (just enough for two). Very tiring process making checkerboard sweet treats. Now, my shoulders are aching... I need a massage badly.
There is a divider that comes with the cake tray.
The back of the cake looks so neat.
One can never go wrong with covering the cake with chocolate ganache. Yum!
Enjoy!! =) If there is a next time, I would definitely make again with ample batter for my checkerboard cake. The cake is definitely yum!

Nadji: Merci. Je vais essayer à nouveau avec trois plateaux de gâteaux, de sorte qu'il ressemble davantage à un damier. =)
Bonne journée à vous.

Hey Lucia,
Grazie grazie. E 'stata una sorpresa divertente per la mia famiglia e gli amici. Grazie per l'abbandono da parte. Mi sarebbe sicuramente cuocere di nuovo.
Hi Corine,
this cake looks good with the checkers! saw your zebra cake too, very interesting interiors/mid-sections for cakes.. amazing!
found your blog through foodie blogroll. I'm a baking addict too, lol
cheers and happy baking =]
HI Bakertan,
I love the checkerboard cake too. It looks kinda cute to be eaten. It got my friends & colleagues alittle excited when they saw the cake for the first time.
Zebra cake looks interesting too but i didnt quite like to use cooking oil in baking. The Taste was rather odd. Probably I did the baking in a wrong manner. hehe
Thanks for dropping by. ;)
