Ingredients

2 cups self-rising flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk
Red, blue, green, and black food coloring
Frosting:
2 sticks (1 cup) butter, softened
4 cups confectioners’ sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2-4 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease two 9-inch round cake pans. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk.

Step 2: Combine and Color

Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. Divide the batter into four separate bowls and add a different food coloring to each bowl. For example, one bowl could be colored red, one blue, one green, and the last black.

Step 3: Fill and Bake

Pour the different colored batters into the two prepared cake pans, alternating colors. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool for 15 minutes before turning them out onto a cooling rack.

Step 4: Frost

In a large bowl, beat together the butter, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, and cream until fully incorporated and creamy. Spread the frosting over the cooled cakes.

Step 5: Decorate

Cut the cakes into the shape of Thomas the Tank Engine with a knife. To decorate, you can use candy to make the eyes, nose, and wheels. Use colored frosting to pipe on the details and you’re done!
