Divide mixture into 3 separate bowls. Mix cocoa powder and remaining milk into 1 bowl, food coloring into second bowl and leave third bowl plain. Drop alternate colors into prepared pan until 2/3 full and swirl together. Bake for 40-45 mins, until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 5 mins then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
