Step 1 - Start by creaming butter and sugar in a bowl until it is light and fluffy
Step 2 - Then start adding your eggs one at a time and with every egg added, add a bit of flour, then slowly combine.
Step 3 - Separate the cake mix in three different bowls. Add colour to the others, one red and one yellow, and leave one plain.
Step 4 - Transfer the cake mixes into your cake tin and using a knife or handle of a kitchen utensil, swirl the mixtures to create a marble effect.
Step 5 - Heat your oven to 180°C / 160°C fan and bake for 20 - 25 mins. You'll know when the cake is ready when it springs back once touched and it's coming away from the sides of the tin. Allow to cool completely before removing the cake from the tin.
Step 6 - Whilst your waiting for the cake to cool, you can make the buttercream frosting by beating the icing sugar and butter together with the milk. Place in the fridge to stiffen slightly.
Step 7 -Remove cake from tin and spread the frosting evenly around the sponge and sprinkle your chosen decoration.
