chef notes:

This 'unusual' cake not only slightly unusual ingredients (a convenience cake mix as its base), but also a slightly unusual technique (placing one layer on top if the other and not combining them).

The convenient cake mixes more often than not come in two standard sizes: 360gm or 225gm.

• if your packet mix is 360gm use ingredient amounts in the left hand column
• if your packet mix is 225gm use ingredient amounts in the right hand column

The basic premise of the recipe is to use two bowls and make two mixes

• stage #1 = mix #1
• stage #2 = mix #2

And then layering one mixture on top of the other in the cake tin and not mixing them. As the cake cooks one layer will intermingle with the other.

The recipe is simple, easy and produces the most wonderful cake.
