right Bowl one is going to be for the chocolate cake batter and Bowl two to my left is going going to be for the vanilla cake batter so let's get started with Bowl One the chocolate cake batter all right so in the small glass bowl I've added 1 tbspoon of hot water and to that I'm going to add a half a teaspoon of instant decaf coffee and 1 teaspoon of the chocolate extract stir all your ingredients together and from there I'm going to add it into the cake batter next I'm going to add two to three tablespoons of the Hershey's unsweetened cocoa powder special dark version I'm going to take a whisk and stir all the ingredients together until combined and that is it for Bowl one now for Bowl two next I'm going to add one teaspoon of vanilla extract I'm going to take my spatula and give this a quick stir and from there our chocolate and vanilla cake batters are now ready spray your bunt pan with the baker's Joy non-stick baking spre all right now I'm going to go ahead and pre my oven to 325° add your prepared cake batter we're going to start with adding Bowl One the chocolate cake batter into the bun pan now you can switch it up you can add Bowl to the vanilla cake batter first if you like I'm going to take a spatula and spread the cake batter around the bunt pan as evenly as possible next I'm going to shake the baking pan to make the batter more even and tap the bottom of the baking pan with my hand carefully pour Bowl two which is the vanilla cake batter you're going to carefully add that on top of the chocolate cake batter next I'm going to take a spatula and I'm just going to spread the vanilla cake batter around my bunt pan as evenly as possible and to make the batter more even I'm going to gently Shake My Pan and tap the bottom of my bunt pan with my hand now it is ready to be baked place this into a preheated 325° oven I'm going to place my pan one rack above the bottom rack bake this for 1 hour and 10 minutes all right it's been about 1 hour and 10 minutes now for our cake let's remove the cake out of the oven topick inserted into the cake should come out clean let this cool for about 3 to 4 hours before removing it out of the pan all right the cake has cooled now here I have a little pizza pan I'm just going to flip the cake over onto the pan and voila all right let's get started with making our chocolate and vanilla icing so in this small bowl I've added 1 and 1/4 cups of confectioner sugar and to that I'm going to add two and 1/2 tablespoons of warm whole milk now of course the half a table spoon is 1 teaspoon plus a half a teaspoon 3 tblspoon of melted unsalted butter a half a teaspoon of vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon of butter extract and here I have just a little sprinkle of salt I'm going to add that in there as well
