Ingredients
Directions:
Heat oven to 325°F. Generously grease a 12-cup tube cake pan. Make cake batters as directed on boxes. Divide the white cake into two separate bowls.
Add orange food coloring to one bowl and mix to the desired color. Then, add purple to the other and mix to the desired color.
Pour 2/3 of the chocolate cake batter into a bowl and mix with a few drops of the black food coloring. Discard the remainder of the batter or use it for cupcakes. (You only need 2/3 of the chocolate cake batter, because if you use the whole thing in won’t fit in the tube pan).
Pour 1/2 of the chocolate cake mix into the bottom of the greased pan. Carefully pour the purple over the chocolate making sure you don’t stir it. Just pour it on top.
Then, carefully pour the orange batter over the purple batter and pour in the remainder of the chocolate.
Bake as directed on box or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes.
Turn pan upside down onto cooling rack that is placed over a cookie sheet. Cool cake completely, about 30 minutes.
Once cake is cool, equally divide your frosting into 3 bowls. Use the food coloring again to make one bowl orange, one purple and one black.
Microwave each bowl of frosting for a few seconds on high until it is smooth enough to drizzle over the cake. With a spoon, drizzle the black frosting back and forth around the whole ring in a striping pattern until you use it all. Then do the same with the purple and then the orange.
Set cake aside to dry.
Store loosely covered and unrefrigerated.
Cake can be made a day or two in advance.

Italian Eggplant Parmesan is a dish that I have been making with my family since I was a little girl. It’s a simple Italian dish that my mother and my grandmother taught me how to make. The crunchy eggplant combined with homemade marinara sauce and melted mozzarella cheese is just a magical combination.
Although this recipe takes some time to make it is well worth the Ohhs and Ahhs you will get from your family and friends when you serve it. So the next time you are at the market pick up some eggplant and surprise your family with this amazing Italian treat.
Serves approximately 12-15 people
Ingredients
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Peel the eggplant and slice into 1/2 inch slices.
Lightly season each disk with salt and pepper and place in a large bowl or strainer and cover with a paper towel.
In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs with the milk. Spread the breadcrumbs in a separate shallow bowl, and the flour in a third shallow bowl.
Dip a slice of eggplant in the flour then the egg mixture and then in the breadcrumbs being sure to coat well with each step. Set aside on a baking tray. Repeat until all the eggplant is coated. Place vegetable oil in a 10-inch frying pan and heat oil over medium high heat until oil is hot enough for frying. About 2-3 minutes.
Fry a few pieces of eggplant at a time placing the fried pieces on a separate plate covered with a layer of paper towels to absorb excess grease. Once all the eggplant is fried you can begin to assemble it. In a large rimmed baking dish add a thin layer of sauce.
Place one slice of fried eggplant on the bottom of the baking dish in a single layer making sure you don’t over lap the pieces. Place about a tablespoon of shredded mozzarella on top of each slice.
Sprinkle each piece with some grated Parmesan cheese. Top each piece with another eggplant slice and some marinara sauce.
Add another sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and cover with foil and bake for about 30 minutes. Remove from over and add more shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each of the eggplant pieces. Place back in the oven uncovered and bake until cheese is melted and browned slightly. Remove from oven and allow the dish to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh chopped basil.
