Equipment

  • 13-inch by 9-inch baking pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Spatula
  • Whisk

Ingredients
  

For the Cake

  • 1 box White Cake Mix The foundation of your cake, providing a light and fluffy texture.
  • a few drops Blue Food Coloring To create a vibrant blue layer.
  • a few drops Red Food Coloring To achieve a bright red color for the cake.

For the Topping

  • 1 can Whipped Cream Topping Ready-made for convenience and creamy finish.

Optional Decoration

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to the temperature specified on your cake mix box. Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.
  • Prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions. Divide the batter into three bowls.
  • Add red dye to one bowl, blue dye to another, leaving the third bowl white.
  • Spread the white cake batter evenly across the baking pan to form the base layer.
  • Drizzle the red batter over the white layer, being careful not to mix them together.
  • Repeat the process for the blue layer, drizzling it over the red layer without stirring them together.
  • Tap the baking pan gently against the countertop to release any trapped air bubbles. Bake according to package instructions until golden brown.
  • Once baked, set the cake aside to cool completely.
  • Spread the whipped cream topping generously over the cooled cake.
  • Optionally, garnish with festive sprinkles before serving.

Notes

For the best results, use gel food coloring for vibrant colors and ensure the cake cools completely before adding whipped cream.
