This effect is fun, as from the outside it looks like an ordinary cake, but when you cut into it you have a checkered effect. You need two round sponge cakes of contrasting colors; usually a plain sponge cake and a chocolate sponge cake are used.

1. Using cutters, cut two rounds out of the plain sponge cake. Do the same with the chocolate cake (Fig. a).

2. Before assembling the cake, coat the inside of each piece with buttercream or jam. Swap the middles around—so the middle of the chocolate cake goes into the middle of the plain sponge cake and vice versa (Fig. b).

3. Sandwich the cakes together with your chosen filling (Fig. c).
