Tri-Colour Butter Cake

Based this recipe from Kentucky Butter Cake at All Recipes. The original comes with butter syrup that can be poured onto the cake while it is still warm, however since I transformed the plain butter into three color cake, I have omitted the sauce. The cake is certainly moist and very tasty treat indeed. The story goes that two of my nephews were at home and asked to if the can help Auntie to bake a cake. So, me being the nicey Auntie, prepared the batters and they decide what colour to use in the cake, hence the combination of colours.They sure had fun mixing the colours and fixing the batter into the pan albeit the batter was a bit overdone and didn't rise as much when baked. But the ephews really had fun and eat almost half of the cake too. Once a while do ask your kids to join in the baking exeperience and the will cherish the memories. The cake is quite huge that I had some leftovers of the batter that i baked into cupcakes.
