- In another bowl, whisk the flours, baking powder and spices and add to the wet ingredients.
- Whisk until just about combined into a flowy batter. Use a few teaspoons more water or flour if needed, since the water absorption depends on the flours.
- Transfer half of the cake mix to another bowl and add cocoa powder to it. Mix till combined.
- The cocoa powder will thicken the batter a little, Add 2-3 teaspoons water to the cocoa batter to get it to the same consistency as the white batter.

- Then pour a ladle of cocoa mix on top of the white mix.
- Continue till all mix gets used up.
