Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla bean paste
1 cup sour cream
3 tbsp milk
1 2/3 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 cups mini chocolate eggs
---FOR COLOURING---
pink food colouring gel
purple food colouring gel
blue food colouring gel
yellow food colouring gel
green food colouring gel
---FOR BASIC GLAZE---
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk
Directions
Beat the butter and sugar together until pale yellow, about 3 minutes.
Add the eggs and vanilla then beat to combine. Add the sour cream and milk, then mix as well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Then, add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix just to combine.
Then, divide the cake batter evenly into 5 different bowls! Add a tiny drop of each colour gel into each bowl and mix to combine (a little bit of food colouring gel goes a long way!). Then, add half of each colour into the bottom of your well greased cake pan (or a bundt pan looks great too) and then swirl them together to make a marble effect.
Top with a cup of the chocolate mini eggs, then repeat the process on top to use the rest of the coloured cake batter.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 50-60 minutes, remove and allow to cool.
Once cool, top with a basic glaze (which you can also choose to colour with the different colouring gels) and sprinkle on the remaining mini eggs. Enjoy!
