Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Grease a 9x13-inch sheet pan thoroughly. (2 minutes)

03

Step

In a large bowl, mash vegetable shortening and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs until fully incorporated. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Stir in buttermilk, cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract until the mixture is uniformly colored and textured. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Gradually sift flour into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Divide the batter in half, pouring each portion into separate bowls. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Gently stir red food coloring into one bowl and green food coloring into the other, until desired color is achieved. (3 minutes)

08

Step

Quickly fold 3/4 teaspoon baking soda and 1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar into the bowl of red batter. Repeat with the green batter in the other bowl. (2 minutes)

09

Step

Pour the red and green batters into the prepared sheet pan in alternating colors, creating a marbled effect. (3 minutes)

10

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the cake is lightly browned on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes. (30 minutes)

11

Step

Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before frosting. (60 minutes)

For a more intense color, use gel food coloring instead of liquid.
To ensure even baking, rotate the pan halfway through the baking time.
Feel free to experiment with different frosting flavors, such as cream cheese or vanilla buttercream.
