Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan and set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
-
Divide the batter into three portions. Tint one portion blue, another yellow, and leave the third portion plain (white).
-
Pour each colored batter into the prepared cake pan, creating three layers. Use a toothpick to swirl the colors for a marbled effect.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely.
-
Once the cake is cool, level the top using a serrated knife to create an even surface.
-
Place one layer on a serving platter and spread a thin layer of vanilla frosting on top. Repeat with the remaining layers.
-
Use the graham cracker crumbs to cover the sides of the cake, creating a sandy beach effect.
-
Decorate the top of the cake with colorful candies to mimic sea creatures and seashells.
-
Place the ice cream cone upside down in the center of the cake to represent a sand pail handle.
-
Chill the Sand Pail Cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
