Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box white cake mix
- Ingredients listed on the box (eggs, water, oil)
- 2 (3.3 oz.) boxes instant white chocolate pudding
- 3 ½ cups milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- ¼ cup powdered sugar (or more to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring (blue, green, pink, and yellow)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to the temperature specified on the cake mix box. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with baking spray and set aside.
- Prepare the cake mix according to the directions listed on the box.
- Divide the cake batter into 4 equal portions and add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl. Stir well.
- Using a spoon, make small dollops of each colored batter in the bottom of the baking dish. Work quickly as the batter will spread.
- Continue adding dollops of each color, layering them on top of each other until all the batter is used.
- Gently tap the baking dish on the counter to flatten the surface. Do not overmix.
- Using a toothpick, swirl the colors slightly.
- Bake as directed on the cake mix box.
- Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes before poking holes all over the top with the handle end of a wooden spoon.
- Allow the cake to cool completely.
- In a bowl, combine the white chocolate pudding mix and milk, whisking until the pudding is dissolved.
- Pour the pudding over the cooled cake, filling the holes completely. Spread any remaining pudding on top.
- Place the cake in the fridge to set completely.
- Once the pudding is set and the cake is cooled, prepare the whipped cream frosting: mix chilled heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and mix until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream frosting over the pudding layer.
- Garnish with sprinkles before serving.
- Store the cake in the fridge.
