Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon orange food coloring
• 1 teaspoon green food coloring
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 3 tablespoons heavy cream
• 0.5 cup candy sprinkles (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, blending well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Divide the batter into two separate bowls. Add orange food coloring to one bowl and green food coloring to the other, stirring each until the colors are evenly incorporated.

Step 7

Pour the orange batter into one prepared cake pan and the green batter into the other. Smooth the tops with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cakes to cool in their pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

While the cakes cool, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the heavy cream and mix until the frosting reaches a spreadable consistency.

Step 11

Once the cakes are completely cooled, place the green layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting on top.

Step 12

Place the orange layer on top of the frosted green layer. Frost the entire cake with the remaining cream cheese frosting.

Step 13

Decorate the cake with candy sprinkles for a whimsical touch, if desired.

Step 14

Slice, serve, and enjoy your magical Oompah Loompah Cake!
