   Tip: Make sure to sift the flour for a lighter cake.

3. 3

   In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.

   Tip: Use room temperature ingredients for a lighter cake.

   Gradually pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.

   Tip: Don't overmix the batter.

5. 5

   Divide the batter evenly between two bowls.

   Tip: Use a spatula to create a smooth, even surface.

   Add the praline paste to one bowl and mix until well combined.

   Tip: Use a spatula to create a marbled effect.

7. 7

   Pour one half of the batter into each prepared cake pan.
