Instructions:
- Step 1: Prepare the Cake Mix - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix with the ingredients specified on the package. Add in the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
- Step 2: Divide and Color the Batter - Divide the batter into three bowls and add gel food coloring to each bowl (blue, purple, pink). Stir gently until well mixed.
- Step 3: Bake the Cakes - Grease the baking pans and pour the colored batters into each pan, alternating colors. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes.
- Step 4: Make the Pudding Filling - In a bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix, strawberry pudding mix, and milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken, then fold in the whipped topping.
- Step 5: Assemble the Cake - Place one cake layer on a platter, spread pudding filling on top, then add the next layer. Repeat if necessary.
- Step 6: Frost the Cake - Use the remaining whipped topping to frost the cake. Add colors with gel food coloring and top with sprinkles.
Notes
- Ensure cake layers are completely cool before frosting to avoid melting the whipped topping.
- Use homemade cake and pudding for a from-scratch option.
- This cake is best served the same day but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Add a layer of fruit or candy between the cake layers for an extra surprise!
