• total time: 2 hours 27 minutes

Ingredients

For the Cake:

1 box white or vanilla cake mix

3 large eggs

⅓ cup vegetable or canola oil

1 cup water or milk

For the Pudding:

2 (3.4 oz) boxes instant vanilla pudding mix

3 cups milk

For the Whipped Cream Frosting:

1 ¼ cups heavy whipping cream

¼ cup powdered sugar

For Decoration:

Rainbow sprinkles

Assorted food coloring

Directions

Preheat & Prepare – Set oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.

Make the Batter – Beat cake mix, eggs, oil, and water/milk until smooth. Divide batter into 5-6 bowls and tint each with different food coloring.

Layer & Bake – Spoon colored batters randomly into the pan without mixing. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely.

Add Pudding – Whisk pudding mix and milk until smooth. Poke holes in the cooled cake with a wooden spoon handle, then pour pudding over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes. Chill for at least 2 hours.

Make the Frosting – Beat heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread evenly over the chilled cake.

Decorate & Serve – Top with rainbow sprinkles for a fun, colorful finish. Slice and enjoy!
