I’ve never weighed, just eyeballed the division.
“Worst case” is an extra stripe of one color.
It’s a very forgiving cake.
But there’s always a temptation to overcomplicate something that’s seems “too” straightforward

I should’ve gone 60/40 but I followed directions to get roughly 50/50.
Well, the up side is you get to eat your trial run and carry on to bake another cake!

when you add the batter layers, do you pour the batter in a line down the center of the pan, OR do you pour it directly into the pan in the center without making a line?
In a rectangular loaf pan, I pour a line down the center of the pan end to end (as opposed to a round pan, in which case I would pour it directly in to the center). I wish I had saved a photo of the prepared batter, but I checked and have none (and also couldn’t find anything similar on the internet). Next time I make the cake, I’ll be sure and snap a picture.

I posted about my tiger cake at work, and someone was like “yoooo I’m making that tonight,” and he did, and isn’t his slice absolutely PICTURE-PERFECT! I was like 
.
He posits that the glass pan I used was the problem (he poured his batter in exactly the same way I did.) So next bake: metal.

Your competitiveness absolutely cracks me up, as a former extreme now recovering competitor. In the end what you produce will be stellar, as always.

i mean, the cake is called TIGER CAKE, it should be nominally striped at least! mine was more like, someone took a tab of acid and tried to draw tiger stripes.

But yours still had a face: eyes, nose, eyebrows… especially that first slice. Looked like an owl.

If you don’t get stripes, it’s a marble cake – and that was the plan all along.
Let’s see it.
