Splitting signal from bass to amp and audio interface

Hi, i have a cheap sonicake audio interface with an XLR input and a instrument input, i'm currently making my first recordings just for fun. Something i want to try is to record my bass clean signal trough the instrument input and simultaneously mic my amplifier, but i don't know how to split my signal in order to send one cable directly into the interface and another into my amp, i do have a DI box but since the interface only has one XLR input, it's pretty useless in this case, so i was wondering if you guys can give me information or any ideas to get both signals recorded ;)

Your question would be better served here:

But how many simultaneous inputs does your interface have? That XLR on your DI is an output…the standard configuration is 1/4” in, then 1/4” out and XLR out.
