The pattern baked into the batter bled a little more than I was hoping. I think if I try this technique again I might give the base a couple of minutes in the oven to set it before adding the rest of the batter

But overall I'm pretty happy with how it turned out

The sponge is mildly earl grey flavoured, and the buttercream is lemon

oh that looks incredible

Thanks!

it's such a neat cake, I would feel bad for eating it haha
