With the taste of a simple white cake, but the explosion of eye-pleasing colors, this would make a great birthday cake for a child (of any age). Use your favorite frosting recipe to finish it off, whether it be a buttercream or a whipped cream. If you desire, add a few drops of any color for extra brightness.
Ingredients: 3 egg whites, 1 (18.25 ounce)package white cake mix, 1 1/3 cups water, 2 tablespoons canola oil, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple paste food coloring. Frosting of your choice ingredients, sprinkles.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 8-inch round cake pans. Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until frothy, about 1 minute. Add the cake mix, water, and canola oil; continue beating for 2 minutes on medium speed.
Divide the cake batter into six separate bowls. Add a few drops of food coloring into each bowl (to make orange: 3-4 drops yellow and 1 drop red; to make purple: 3-4 drops red and 1-2 blue) and stir until completely combined (or use a toothpick to scoop a dab of food coloring paste into each bowl of batter). Add more food coloring until you reach desired shade.
Scoop spoonfuls of batter into the prepared pans, alternating the colors, in any order. Use a toothpick to gently swirl the colors for a marbled effect.
Bake in the preheated 350 degree oven until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, about 30-35 minutes. Cool in the pans on a wire racks for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely.
Prepare your favorite frosting recipe, then frost middle, sides and top of cake. Top with multi-colored sprinkles.
