Do you like vanilla cake? What about chocolate cake? How about having the two together at once?!

Steps

1

Preheat oven at 175°C (350°F) for 20 minutes. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
2

In a bowl sieve the flour and baking powder. Add in the salt. Set aside. Alternate adding this mixture and the buttermilk to the wet ingredients.
3

In a separate bowl cream the eggs and sugar till thick and glossy. Add in the vanilla extract and the vegetable oil. Beat for 7 minutes until smooth.
4

Gradually add flour in the egg mixture.
5

Melt the butter in hot milk. (This makes buttermilk) Add some cake batter into this mixture then slowly pour back into the whipped eggs bowl.
6

Reserve ¾ cup of the cake batter. Stir cocoa powder into this batter until it is even in colour.
7

Alternate adding the vanilla and chocolate batter into the baking pan. Knock out bubbles by banging 3 times on a countertop.
8

Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
9

Cool briefly in the cake pan before cooling completely on a cooling rack or a plate.
