If I am baking a cake that is half chocolate and half vanilla in the same pan, how do I seperate them?

Question

I am baking a full sheet cake, and am making it half chocolate and half vanilla, but I'm not sure how to seperate the two flavors in the pan during baking, does anyone know what I can use to seperate them? I have checked several stores for some type of seperator, but couldn't find anything.

Answer 1

Stand a piece of cardboard in he center of the pan....pour in one flavor batter on one side....the other flavor on the other...then easily pull out the cardboard....try not to move the pan around to much on its way to the oven.
one side will be chocolate the other vanilla...the center may be a little "marble", but I'm sure it'll be great!!!

Answer 2

There is no need for a "seperator". Since you will have two seperate bowls of cake mix, simply pour each mix into each side of the pan simultaneously. The mixtures are thick enough that they will not bleed together. You will not end up with a perfectly straight line dividing chocolate and vanilla, but a nice curving line. Again, the key is pouring simultaneously.

Answer 3

you would start out by baking the chocolate cake in the pan by itself. bake it take it out of the pan and let it cool.

Make sure you dont use a small pan ....use the bigger rectangle pan and only one box of choc. cake mix, that way when the cake is done baking, you have a one inch think cake. let it cool completly. put it in the fridge as cake is easier to work with and the icing wont melt when you put it on.

Bake the white/ yellow cake the same way doing the same thing.

Now....if your really good.....

cut both of the cakes in half....dont cut down the longest side....cut down the middle on the short side...

frost one half only of each color...so you will have two peices of dark and two peices of yellow.....only frost one of each coler....

stick the yellow on top of the yellow and the choc on top pf the choc.

this gives you one yelloe layer cake...and one choc. layer cake...now....

take a lot of icing and ice one edge on each cake....put the cakes together to form the original size of the cake pan....

this results in one, two layered, two flavor cake...and when people notice that you did it yourself.....you will be praised!!

dont worry...i know this is long...but its actually very simple....and no..there isnt anything you can buy that will bake a cake in seperate colors...your gonna have to do the seperating....

email me for further assistance...i do this all the time

Answer 4

Use a folded piece of aluminum foil to form a wall between the two batters before you pour them into the pan
& bake as usual.

Answer 5

Hmmm, this is one of those WWMD questions: What Would MacGyver Do? *lol*

Why not pour both batters into the pan at the same time, and where they hit, there will be some mixing, but on the whole, they should stay on their side of the pan?

Maybe rig something up with tin foil?

Answer 6

Bake two cakes one choc one van.

Then put them next to each other on the sheet, trim with a knife to get them to sit perfectly alligned.

Then frost the cake.

Answer 7

I suppose you could make something out of tinfoil, just fold a few times and place in the middle of your sheet pan and careful pour in batter.

Answer 8

My mom makes layer cakes and my understanding is you have to bake each section on its own. If that's too complicated just pour them in how you want and try not to agitate the batter too much. good luck.

Answer 9

Get the pan you're utilising, separate it with a nonstick metallic divider (attempt domicile Depot or Lowes) and pour them in one after the different, then remove it. they could be quite frequently separated. if no longer completely.

Answer 10

put a knife in the middle.. and then add the badder or whatevr u are using...the mix is usually a lil thik.. take out the knife after u put in both flavors.. it wont move and run around like water...... it doesnt have to be perfect... it just have to taste good..
