Vanilla chocolate cake is a combination of two flavors; it goes well with evening tea or breakfast. Soft and fluffy vanilla chocolate cake is also good for kids' Tiffin boxes.

This cake contains the layering of two flavors, vanilla and chocolate, an easy and quick tea cake. You can eat both flavors together. This is a delicious cake to snack on while sipping on a hot cup of coffee or tea.

The vanilla and chocolate layer is light, fluffy, and super moist. A perfect balance. There are days when I just want to sit back, sip on a hot cup of coffee, and enjoy a piece of cake. Something light, something that doesn’t require a glass of milk or water to be washed down.

Just like for most cakes, you'll need butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, flour, milk, and cocoa powder, but here I used homemade shortening in this recipe instead of butter.

You can use unsalted butter or any type of cooking oil except for olive oil or corn oil, as both contain flavors.

For the best result,t follow my detailed step-by-step photo instructions and tips above the recipe card.

Recipe notes:

Before you begin, ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature, particularly the butter or shortening, milk, and eggs. This step is crucial for allowing the ingredients to combine smoothly without overheating the batter.

If you forget to take them out of the refrigerator ahead of time, you can soften the butter quickly in the microwave for about 5 to 10 seconds. You can do the same with the milk.

To bring the eggs to room temperature promptly, place them in a bowl of warm water for about 5 minutes.
