Gold and Silver Cake

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup gold luster dust
• 1/4 cup silver luster dust
• 1/4 cup warm water
• 1/4 cup white sugar

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the creamed mixture alternately with the milk.
3. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
4. In a small bowl, mix together the gold and silver luster dust and warm water until smooth. Spoon the mixture over the top of the cooled cake. In a medium bowl, mix together the 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 teaspoon gold luster dust, and 1/4 teaspoon silver luster dust. Drizzle the mixture over the top of the cake.
