Here is what I found in the Internet:

EASY CHECKERBOARD CAKE RECIPE
1 box of yellow Duncan Hines (or other brand) cake mix
1 box of chocolate Duncan Hines (or other brand) cake mix

1. Make yellow and chocolate cakes according to directions on boxes.
2. When the cakes cool down, cut out a 4-inch center of each layer with a sharp knife leaving approximately a two-inch edge all the way around.
3. Put the yellow layer in the middle of the chocolate cake, and the chocolate layer in the middle of the yellow cake.
4. Fill, stack the layers and frost with your favorite icing.
