Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crinkle Cake Batter:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a square or rectangular baking pan.
   • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
   • In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
   • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
   • Divide the batter in half. To one half, add unsweetened cocoa powder and mix until well combined.

2. Assemble the Crinkle Cake:

   • Spoon alternating dollops of the vanilla and chocolate batters into the prepared baking pan.
   • Use a knife or spatula to create swirls in the batter, achieving a marbled effect.

3. Create the Crinkle Topping:

   • In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and granulated sugar.
   • Sprinkle the sugar mixture generously over the top of the cake batter.

4. Bake to Perfection:

   • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
   • Allow the Crinkle Cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
