Ombre is a French term meaning shaded, usually a multicolored stripe that gradually fades from dark to light. It’s very popular in the beauty, fashion and hair couture world, so when my nephew and I came across this Chocolate Ombre Butter Cake recipe, we knew that we had to try it out.

It’s like your typical butter cake or marble cake, but the difference is that it’s not mismatched like marble cake and you can actually see the different layers and the gradual colour fade from dark to light.
