Rainbow Cake

To keep in theme with our rainbow day today (see Rainbow Slush post), we decided to make a rainbow cake. We saw an easy recipe on Pinterest but when we clicked on the link there only directions were in Chinese, so we followed the pictures... so here is our version of the rainbow cake we saw.

Ingredients needed:

1 box of white cake mix
1 3.4 oz box of vanilla pudding
1 20 oz. bottle of Sprite
Frosting
Food Coloring

Mix together cake mix, pudding and entire bottle of Sprite. Mix well!

Divide mixture into 6 bowls (depending on the number of colors you would like). We put about 3/4 cup into each bowl. Add food coloring until you have reached the desired colors.

Spray pans with cooking spray and lightly flour.
Divide half your first color and spread onto your pan. Shake the pan until it is spread enough where you can add another color on top. We didn't move ours around enough and the red disappeared under the other colors.

Keep adding colors until all of your colors are in the pan. Should look something like this.

Bake cakes according to directions on the box. (We baked ours at 350 degrees for 32 minutes.)

Let cake cool and then turn out carefully. The cake is quite sticky so be careful when trying to get it out of the pan and onto the surface you will frost it on.





Frost cake and add sprinkles, if you would like.
Then enjoy!

My mom made the same cake today and they really liked it. My kids really weren't big fans of it and just ate the frosting. It does have a different kind of texture so be prepared for different.

You can do the same kind of thing if you prepare the cake according to the back of the box instead of adding the Sprite and pudding. I think we will do that instead.
