Replace 1cup water with 3/4 cup water
1/3 cup of oil remains the same


mix up the first batter 


bake half the mixture into cake pops/ mini cupcakes/ or bake the entire cake and cut out circles with a cookie cutter. if that gets confusing please refer to

make and mix batter #2 like batter #1

PREHEAT OVEN TO 350*

 oil and flour a cake pan.
pour a small amount of batter #2 on the bottom of the pan 
arrange cake balls/ mini muffins on their sides/ or circle cake cut outs on there sides ontop of the batter
pour more batter ontop of the balls until covered, leaving room for cake to rise in pan

remove cake from oven when toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.


repeat the process allover again, but make the opposite color of cake balls and batter!
