What is a black and white cake?

Come to think of it, all of those descriptions look fantastic. Raspberry fudge anyone?

Why don't you just have someone ask the guy who requested it.

I've seen black and white cakes be everything from alternating layers of vanilla and chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling and whited frosting; to a cake where the chocolate and white batters have been gently swirled together before baking. My personal favorite is the first.

I'd just let your creative talents flow and produce some combination of chocolate and white that suits you.

A bakery in Durham, NC (Mad Hatter) calls the black and white it's signature cake. Here's their description:

Black and White
(Our Signature Cake)

Alternating layers of chocolate and white cake filled with chocolate fudge icing and white buttercream. Iced with white buttercream and covered with poured chocolate ganache.

There's a photo of it on the top of their home page. They are really yummy!

You know, I had a thought. I am sure you could pull it off too. Oreo cake. Maybe like crushed Oreo in the frosting and black and white cakes inside.

Then you can send it to me for taste testing and approval.

He doesn't know what it is. I find that a lot with baking and cooking. People try to describe something they want and they have no idea what's actually in it. Usually I can find something off of google but this is way too generic.

I would love to. But, did I ever tell you about the time I shipped eggs to my sister? She didn't talk to me for a month.
