The following is a post from contributing writer\u00a0Brandy.<\/em><\/p>\n

This checkerboard cake is always a crowd pleaser.\u00a0 For one, it’s fun!\u00a0 And it’s actually two cakes in one, so there is plenty to go around.<\/p>\n

And if you’re like me, your kids alone provide a crowd.\u00a0 If you make this for them for their birthday or for the holidays, you’ll impress them, for sure!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You’ll need three round cake pans and one cake ring insert to make the checkerboard effect.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The two cake recipes are simple, homemade cake recipes for old-fashioned chocolate and vanilla.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Be sure to shake your pans down firmly on the counter to settle the cake batter and prevent air bubbles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Frost with your favorite icing and enjoy! And yes, the coconut is optional, but I love it and more importantly, I love how it hides imperfect cake decorating!<\/p>\n
