• Preheat oven to 160°C/ 140°C fan forced. Grease and line four 18cm round cake pans with baking paper.
• Combine flours, sugar, butter, milk and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric beater; beat on low speed for 2 minutes or until just combined. Increase speed to high and beat for 3 minutes or until the mixture is thick and pale.
• Evenly divide cake mixture into two bowls; add vanilla bean paste to one bowl and mix well. Add NESTLE Baking Cocoa to remaining bowl, mix well. Divide vanilla mixture among two prepared pans, and divide chocolate mixture among remaining two prepared pans; bake 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Using a serrated knife, level cake tops.
• Meanwhile, to make Chocolate Ganache, combine NESTLE Dark Melts and cream in heatproof bowl; microwave, uncovered, on MEDIUM (50%) for 1 minute; stir; repeat in 30 second intervals until melted. Set aside until cool and thick, stirring occasionally.
• To assemble, print and cut out the template 
  
• Coat the cut inner sides of a chocolate outer ring with a thin layer chocolate ganache and place a vanilla middle ring inside. Coat the cut inner sides of the vanilla ring with ganache and fill circle with a chocolate center. Repeat this sequence again.
• Coat the cut inner sides of a vanilla outer ring with chocolate ganache and place a chocolate middle ring inside. Coat the cut inner sides of the chocolate ring with ganache and fill circle with a vanilla center. Repeat this sequence again. You should now have four cakes each alternating in chocolate and vanilla rings.
• Sandwich the cake layers together with a little chocolate ganache, alternating layers. Spread remaining chocolate ganache over top and sides of cake.
