Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch cake pan.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add alternately with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture.
• Divide the batter into separate bowls and add desired food coloring to each bowl. Pour spoonfuls of each colored batter into the pan, creating a swirled effect.
• Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
• For the frosting, beat the cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Spread over the cooled cake.
