METHOD
1 . Preheat oven to 180 ° C ( 160 ° C fan-forced ). Prepare batters by combining each cake ingredient list into 2 bowls . Use electric beaters until thick and smooth . Divide each batter equally into 2 bowls of pure chocolate and pure vanilla .
2 . Take ½ cup of chocolate batter and add to vanilla batter and vice versa . Beat each again to fully combine . You should have 4 distinct colour batters .
3 . Pour each batter into 4 greased / paper lined 20cm round springform cake tins . Bake for 25-35 minutes or until a inserted skewer comes out clean . Remove from oven and leave for 10 minutes before releasing on a wire rack to cool .
4 . Prepare both buttercreams in separate bowls . Use electric beaters until pale then gradually add ingredients to each until thick .
5 . Using a 6cm round cookie cutter , remove the centre of each cake and set aside . Stack the cake discs from darkest chocolate on bottom to vanilla on top with 1cm layer of buttercream between each .
6 . Spread remaining buttercream over the top and down the sides . Gradually add chocolate buttercream down the sides to the bottom then smooth all over with a palette knife .
7 . Add some of the remaining chocolate buttercream to the inside of the top 2 layers of the stack . Fill the centre hole with Easter eggs / marshmallows to third layer . Crumble 2 of the darkest cake cut-outs to a fine crumb and mostly fill the remainder of the centre hole . Leave a trail of Easter eggs and marshmallows on top of cake , plate and across table .
