This cake is just my vanilla butter cake with the batter seperated and colored to make stripes. I made a 5 layer cake with 6 inch cake pans. You can also make a 3 layer cake with 8 inch cake pans and evenly using the batter between the 3 pans. The bake time is about the same as the 8 inch layers are thinner. I chose not to frost the sides of the cake to see the layer colors.

“Fenway” passed away on 2/3/2021. For the last year she tried to teach her husband of 42 years how to cook like her. Although I will never be as good of a cook as her she did pass on her passion for cooking. Therefore, I will attempt to carry on her legacy and maintain/update her site. My wife was a Registered Nurse, a licensed deep water aerobics instructor, a mother to our 2 children and a fantastic cook. We grew up in New England but have been fortunate to live all over the US. I am now retired, missing her terribly, but thankful for all the years we had together and all her cooking lessons.
