Like everyone else, I was excited by the 'fun-ness' of this recipe. We have just finished eating our cake. The stripes worked perfectly & it looks excellent. Somehow I got long, horizontal air pockets though. Usually air pockets are vertical, so I don't know what happened. Another time, I might use a whisk to mix the cake, rather than get out the stand mixer. That would decrease the mixing, & lessen the chance of air. I iced it with chocolate frosting. The effect was great. Not the greatest flavour cake, but sure a good presentation. Good texture. I can't believe that 45 people posted comments here, before me - without actually trying to bake the cake!!!
