Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ White Cake Mix
  • Water (amount as called for on cake mix box)
  • Vegetable oil (amount as called for on cake mix box)
  • Whole eggs (amount as called for on cake mix box)
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons red gel food color
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons blue gel food color
  • 1/2 cup Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Vanilla Frosting
  • Optional: 2 teaspoons Betty Crocker™ Red, White & Blue Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously spray a 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with baking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and whole eggs according to package instructions. Mix on medium speed until well blended (about two minutes).
  3. Divide the batter into two bowls; add red gel food color to one bowl and blue gel food color to the other, stirring until fully incorporated.
  4. Pour alternating spoonfuls of red and blue batter into the prepared pan to create a marbled effect.
  5. Bake for 39 to 44 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cooling in the pan for ten minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Once cooled, drizzle warmed vanilla frosting over the top of the cake in a striping pattern and decorate with additional colored frosting and sprinkles if desired.
