["Preheat oven 350\u00b0 F. Line the bottom and sides of an 8x8\" square baking tin. Cut out a piece of parchment paper to divide cake batter in half down the middle. Fold a strip in half and fold out flaps at the bottom to look like an upside down T. This will keep both batters separate from one another while the cake bakes.""
