- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Blue and green food coloring
- White frosting

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch cake pans.

- Pour the colored batters into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
