Cooking Tips

- Simmer gently after adding the coconut milk to prevent it from separating.

- 3 tbsp (45 ml) heavy cream

- 2 tsp (10 ml) vanilla extract

- Pinch of salt

Method

Prepare the Pans

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line four 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pans with parchment paper.

Mix the Vanilla Batter

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and milk alternately, mixing just until smooth.

Mix the Chocolate Batter

Prepare the chocolate batter using the same process, first combining the cocoa powder with the flour mixture. Stir the hot coffee into the finished batter to deepen the chocolate flavor.

Bake the Cakes

Divide each batter evenly between two prepared pans. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Leave the cakes to cool completely before assembling.

Make the Buttercream

Beat the butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, then mix in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Continue beating until light, fluffy, and spreadable.

Build the Checkerboard Layers

Using three different-sized round cutters or templates, cut each cake into three concentric rings. Carefully separate the rings without breaking them.

Swap the vanilla and chocolate rings to create alternating color patterns in every layer. Use a thin layer of buttercream between the rings to secure them.

Assemble the Cake

Place the first checkerboard layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of buttercream over the top. Repeat with the remaining layers, alternating the arrangement so the checkerboard effect continues through the cake.

Cover the entire cake with a thin crumb coat and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Apply the remaining buttercream in a smooth, even layer.

Decorate with chocolate curls, piped buttercream, colorful sprinkles, or fresh berries to suit the occasion.

Serving Tips

Refrigerate the finished cake for 30 minutes before slicing with a sharp knife to reveal the checkerboard pattern. For the best flavor and texture, allow the cake to stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving.
