Ingredients

Servings

• 200 gram Butter
• 200 gram Sugar
• 4 unit Eggs
• 200 gram Flour
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 20 drop Food coloring (assorted colors)
• 100 gram Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a butterfly-shaped cake pan.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Divide the batter into four equal portions. Add a different food coloring to each portion and mix well.
5. Pour the colored batters into the prepared cake pan, alternating colors to create a marbled effect. Use a skewer to gently swirl the colors together.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice to make a glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
8. Serve and enjoy the beautiful butterfly cake!
