Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray or lightly butter two 9-inch cake pans. Set aside.
- Sift the cake flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
- With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed in a large bowl until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the granulated and brown sugars and beat on high speed for 3-4 minutes until creamed. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed. With the mixer running on low speed, add the eggs then the egg yolks one at a time, then add the vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed until combined. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed. With the mixer running on low speed, add the dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the buttermilk and mixing each addition just until incorporated. Do not overmix. Use a whisk to rid any large lumps, if needed. The batter will be slightly thick.
- Remove 1 cup of yellow batter and pour into a medium bowl. Melt 4 ounces of chocolate in the microwave, stopping and stirring every 20 seconds until completely smooth. Pour chocolate into the 1 cup of yellow batter you set aside and stir until combined.
- Pour an even layer of the yellow batter into each cake pan. Spoon chocolate batter on top, as shown in the photo above. Pour remaining yellow batter on top of the chocolate. Using a knife, swirl the two batters together. Don't worry if it's not perfect.
- Bake the layers for 22-27 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one cake comes out clean. Mine usually take 24 minutes. During bake time, loosely cover the cakes with aluminum foil if you find the tops are browning too quickly. Remove cakes from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pans set on a wire rack.
- With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the butter on high speed in a large bowl until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Add confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, salt, vanilla, and cream with the mixer running on low. Once added, increase to high speed and beat for 3 full minutes. Add 1-2 more Tablespoons confectioners' sugar if frosting is too thin or 1-2 more Tablespoons of cream if frosting is too thick. Taste the frosting and add a pinch more salt if it's too sweet.
- If needed, level cakes to create a flat surface (I usually use a knife, be careful doing this!). Place 1 cake layer on a cake stand or large serving plate. Evenly spread about 3/4 cup frosting on top. Top with 2nd cake and spread the remaining frosting all over the sides and top. Decorate with sprinkles if desired. Slice and serve.
- Cover any leftover cake and store at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

SASHAS MARBLE BIRTHDAY CAKE
Although I say Sasha, this cake has always been a favourite with all my children, and since I'm not a great baker, this was a good stand-by in the days when I needed a cake for the birthday and a cake for school! It comes from the "Good Housekeeping Kids CookBook, A First Step-By-Step Book for Young Cooks", which is why the instructions are quite detailed, and I don't doubt all of mine could make this if they wanted to. Sasha in particular has usually helped me with it, she is the baker! We most recently made this early in September, for her 20th birthday, in fact, we made two, since she had all her varsity friends come for a barbeque! As I say, this comes from a childrens cookbook, which is why the instructions are quite detailed, don't be put off or offended!

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350F/180°C.
- Pour a few drops of oil into an 18 cm ( 7 inch) deep round cake tin. use a pastry brush to spread it all over the inside. Put the tin on a piece of greaseproof paper and draw around it with a pencil. Cut the circle out and press it into the bottom of the tin. Brush with a little more oil.
- Put the flours, baking powder, margarine, 1 tblsp of the milk, the sugar and the vanilla essence into a food processor.
- Crack the eggs into a small bowl, then pour the egg into the flour mixture. Put the lid on the food processor and turn the machine on for just two minutes or until everything is mixed together. (Don't leave it running too long, or the cake will not rise.).
- Put about 1/3 of the cake mixture in a bowl, add a few drops of food colouring, and mix it evenly with a spoon. Put another 1/3 of the mixture in another bowl, and add the cocoa powder and the rest of the milk. Mix well.
- Put a tablespoon of white cake mixture in the cake tin, then add a spoonful of chocolate mixture, followed by a spoonful of pink mixture. Keep doing this until all of the cake mixtures are in the tin.
- Using a round-bladed knife, make the shape of an eight right through the mixture. This helps to mix the colours together. Level the surface of the mixture in the tin.
- Bake the cake in the oven for about 1 hour, or until the cake is golden-brown on the top. press the cake very gently on top. if it is cooked, it will spring back into shape.
- Carefully run a knife around the edge of the cake between the cake and the tin, then turn the cake on to a wire rack to cool. Peel the greaseproof paper off the bottom.
- When the cake is cold, you can decorate it. break the chocolate into squares, and put it in a heatproof bowl. Put a little water in a saucepan and heat until it simmers. Stand the bowl over the water (the bowl should not touch the water), and turn the heat down to very low.
- Stir the chocolate until it has melted (you can also melt the chocolate in the microwave on HIGH for two minutes).
- Pour the hot chocolate on top of the cake, and spread it evenly with a palette knife.
- Decorate with sweets and candles, then leave the chocolate to set before eating.
