Now is the fun part.
Take your first bowl of batter and pour pieces of it all over the cake pan, like in the second picture.
Repeat with all the other colors.
Try to use as much batter as possible and get the batter as even as you can.
Now take out a tooth pick and swirl around the colorful batter as much as you want. 
Eventually your batter will look like the main image.

Baking

Set your oven to 350 degrees F.
Let it warm up for a bit.
Once your oven is ready, put you cake in the oven.
Let it bake for 15-18 minutes, checking it occasionally.
It will look really cool once you take it out.

Frosting

Frosting your cake in optional, but I think it tastes better with frosting.
Once the cake has cooled down, pour the frosting on the cake.
Using a butter knife, spread the frosting evenly over the cake.
Smooth out the frosting.
You can color the frosting is you want to.
