At the end of August, daughter and I participated in the inaugural 'In Running Colour' foot race. What a blast. There are lots of photos available at the race site. Wanting to continue with that theme, I knew the perfect cake to make for the Race Director Lloyd Schmidt when his birthday rolled around the other week. A colourful cake of course.
Aside from the pretty sprinkles, what could make this a colour cake?
I started with a basic white cake mix.
In three bowls I put about 2 tablespoons of batter and added lots of drops of colours.
Drop these coloured batters into the rest of the plain batter.
It really doesn't matter how neat and tidy you are.
Swirl with a knife or tooth pick
And swirl a little bit more
Bake. The only thing I would change, would be to get the colours closer to the edge of the pan.
Frost.

Enjoy.
