Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a round cake pan.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

  5. Gradually mix in the flour mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, until just combined.

  6. Divide the batter into three portions. Leave one part plain, dye one part red, and dye the last part green using the food coloring.

  7. Pour the red batter into the prepared cake pan, and then carefully spoon the plain batter on top. Finally, add the green batter on top of the plain batter.

  8. Swirl a knife through the batter to create a marbled effect.

  9. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  10. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

  11. Once the cake has cooled, decorate the top with festive sprinkles and decorations to your heart's content.
