How perfect are these for a child's birthday party?! Gracie is turning two in June and I am planning on making these adorable cakes!
Ingredients
- 1 Betty Crocker Super Moist white cake mix
- 1 Tub Betty Crocker Whipped Ready to Spread white frosting
- 3 egg whites (for cake mix)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil (for cake mix)
- 1 1/4 cup water (for cake mix)
- Betty Crocker NEON food colors in neon pink, neon blue and neon purple
- Regular food colors in yellow, green, red and blue
- 4 (1-quart) wide-mouth glass canning jars
- Non-stick cooking spray
Directions
- 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wash 4 one-quart canning jars and dry thoroughly. Set lids and rims aside. Spray inside of each glass jar with a generous amount of non-stick cooking spray.
- 2Make cake batter according to directions on cake mix box.
- 3Divide batter evenly between 5 bowls (approximately 1 cup of batter in each bowl).
- 4Add 15 drops of neon pink food coloring to the 1st bowl. Stir to blend well.
- 5Add 14 drops of regular yellow food coloring to the 2nd bowl. Stir to blend well.
- 6Add 24 drops of regular green food coloring to the 3rd bowl. Stir to blend well.
- 7Add 7 drops of neon blue food coloring to the 4th bowl. Stir to blend well.
- 8Add 8 drops of regular red + 7 drops of regular blue + 3 drops of neon purple food coloring to the 5th bowl. Stir to blend well.
- 9Spoon about 1/4-cup of each color batter into each of the jars, layering the colors in this order: purple (first), blue, green, yellow, pink (last). Use a paper towel to wipe any spills or drips from the jars.
- 10Place the jars in a glass baking dish. Add 1/4" of water to the bottom of the dish surrounding the jars. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Cake tops should spring back to the touch when done, but don't bake so long that the cakes are brown. You can also use a long bamboo skewer to test doneness if you have one.
- 11Allow cakes to cool completely, about one hour, before frosting.
- 12Spread frosting over top of cake and decorate as desired.
