Ingredients
One of the most popular treats for special occasions is the number pan cake. It's a fun and easy to make dessert that any age can enjoy. To make a number pan cake, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk

Instructions
Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F. Grease a number pan cake pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk until all the ingredients are fully combined.
Divide the batter into individual bowls according to the colors you want in your number pan cake. Add food coloring, if desired, and stir until the desired color is achieved. Pour each color of batter into the prepared pan, working your way around the pan in a circle. When you have finished adding the batter, use a knife to swirl the colors together. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire cooling rack. Slice and serve with your favorite frosting, or enjoy it plain. Enjoy!
