Divide the batter into three bowls…. add black gel food coloring to one…. add neon orange gel food coloring to the second and add the neon purple gel food coloring to the third bowl.  Stir well.

Make sure you spray the bundt pan with Pam before the next step.

Begin by spooning in the purple cake batter, then the some black, then the neon orange, and then the rest of the black on top.  Swirl it a bit with a butter knife, but easily so it doesn’t mix.

Bake the cake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.  Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes then remove the cake from the Bundt pan and place it on a wire rack until completely cooled.

How to Make the Frosting

Frosting Ingredients:

1 C soft unsalted butter
4 + C powder sugar
4 TBSP heavy whipping cream
Neon green, neon purple, and neon orange gel food coloring

Frosting Directions: 

1. Cream the butter and powder sugar until it looks light and creamy.   If it doesn’t cream add several drops of the heavy whipping cream until it creams.
2. Once the frosting has the right consistency then divide it into 3 bowls.
3. In each of the three bowls add several drops of gel food coloring.  1 st bowl add the neon green, 2nd bowl add neon purple, 3rd bowl add neon orange.  After each color addition, stir well to mix the colors.

When the colors are right, starting with the green frosting and using a spoon, drizzle the frosting on the cake.  Allow the black frosting to dry.  Then repeat the process with the neon purple frosting.   Once again, allow the frosting to dry.

Lastly, repeat the frosting process with the neon orange frosting.  Allow all frosting to dry on the cake and then you are ready to serve it.

When you cut into the cake, it’ll have a cool swirl design from all the colors!
