2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 cups white cornmeal you can use yellow but the white shows the colors better
1 1/3 cups white sugar
2 teaspoon salt
8 teaspoons baking powder
2 eggs
2 cups milk
1 cup butter or margarine
1 bottle red food coloring
1 bottle yellow food coloring

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch metal cake pan.
In a large bowl beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, add in eggs. In a small bowl combine flour, cornmeal, salt, and baking powder, then add to sugar mixture slowly. Gradually pour in milk and beat until well combined.
Using three cereal sized bowls, divide the batter evenly. I just eyeball it. In one, add yellow food coloring, until you get the shade of yellow that you like. In the next one, add 4 red drops food coloring and 6 yellow drops food coloring, adjust red and yellow to get the orange color you want. The last bowl leave as is.
Pour the yellow batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Top with orange batter and gently spread, make sure you have an even layer. Then add the plain batter and spread evenly.
Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
