I made this cake yesterday. It is so much fun to see the inside when you cut into the cake. I had the same problem as Eleanor, more vanilla than chocolate batter. I just scooped some vanilla into the remaining chocolate to even things out. You can't tell in the finished cake. I also split my cake and put a filling in the middle, switching the top and bottom around to get a flatter surface to ice. I noticed when cutting the cake that my chocolate and vanilla stripes don't line up now. It's kinda neat looking.
