– 1 box (15.25 oz) white cake mix – 1 cup sour cream – 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil – 1/4 cup water – 4 egg white – 1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract – blue, pink, & yellow food coloring – pastel colored sprinkle – 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter softened – 2 cups powdered sugar – 1/4 cup heavy cream *see note – 1½ teaspoons clear vanilla extract
Ingredients
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cooking spray should be used to coat a 9x13-inch cake pan. Put aside for later.
With an electric hand mixer, beat cake mix, sour cream, oil, water, egg whites, and clear vanilla extract in a large dish. Beat for 2 minutes on medium speed after mixing on low for 30 seconds.
Following the preparation of the pan, pour two cups of the white cake batter into the pan at this point. It should be laid out in a straight line.
Divide remaining white cake batter into 3 smaller bowls. About 1/2 cup each. Colour each bowl with 2-3 drops of blue, pink, and yellow food colouring. One colour per bowl.
Make sure that each colour is thoroughly mixed, and if additional food colouring is required, add it until the desired colour is achieved.
Add scoops of the coloured batter on top of the white cake batter in the pan. Just going back and forth between blue, pink, and yellow on the cake.
Using a knife or stick, slowly move it through the batter to make a swirling pattern. To get it all mixed up well, you might have to do this again.
If you stick a toothpick into the centre of the cake, it should come out clean after 25 to 30 minutes in the oven.
To Make Frosting: Beat butter in a basin for 1-2 minutes with an electric hand mixer until light and creamy. Combine powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla. Beat 2 minutes until frothy and thick.
Spread frosting on the cake after it has cooled, and then sprinkle sprinkles on top of it. Squares should be cut out and served.
