A colorful swirled cake with a cheesecake top layer.
Preheat oven to 325F. Line 9x13 pan with foil or sprayed parchment paper.
Color one bowl each of the following colors: purple, blue, yellow, green, orange and pink. Reserve 1 tbsp of each color in a separate bowl or cup.
Bake 20 minutes uncovered; cover with foil (to prevent browning) bake an additional 14 to 20 minutes.
Make sure to use enough food coloring to keep the colors bright. This recipe can easily be adapted to change colors for special occasions or team colors. Instead of using 6 bowls to color, adjust bowls down to the number of colors you need.
I found it easier to remove the whole cake from the pan using the parchment paper to lift it out after it finished cooling. Then I cut the bars to plate them. I was able to cut the bars more evenly without the edges of the pan hitting the knife.
