Prepare the ingredients: measure out 4.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1.5 tablespoons of baking powder, 4 eggs, 1.5 cups of sugar, 1 cup of melted vegetable shortening, 2 cups of milk, a pinch of salt, and food coloring (red and yellow).

2

Grease the baking mold thoroughly.

3

In a mixing bowl, combine the melted vegetable shortening and sugar, and start mixing.

4

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until all 4 eggs are incorporated.

5

Continue mixing for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes lighter in color and thicker.

6

Add the baking powder to the mixture and mix briefly.

7

Incorporate 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the mixture.

8

Gradually add the flour and milk alternately, mixing gently with a whisk to avoid lumps. Use folding motions to ensure no flour clumps remain.

Divide the batter into three separate bowls for coloring.

Add yellow food coloring to one bowl and mix gently until the desired color is achieved.

11

Add red food coloring to another bowl, mixing gently until the desired color is reached, adjusting as necessary to achieve a more intense red.

Layer the colored batters into the greased mold, starting with one color and then adding the other on top.

13

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for about 250 minutes (4 hours and 10 minutes) until fully cooked.

14

Check the doneness by observing the height and color of the bread, ensuring it is well-cooked and soft.
