Either it needed to bake longer, or expired baking powder/baking soda.

I’m not sure why the chocolate batter would sink so I can’t help there, but you could try using dark cocoa powder to make the contrast more effective.

I tried this cake because it looked really cute for a simple first birthday party cake. While the cake tasted good, I found that 1) the batter nearly filled my 9 inch cake pan, and when I cut into it, there were very faint stripes and most of the chocolate batter had sunk to the bottom. It didn’t look bad, but definitely not like the pictures posted here. Any suggestions?

You can omit the almond if you like. If you want two layers, you will need twice as much batter. Enjoy!

Can I omit the almond extract? Also, I want to make this a layer cake, do I make 2 batches of the batter?Sorry if these questions seem obvious-I just started baking.
