box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ white cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and whole eggs called for on cake mix box
1 ¼ teaspoons Betty Crocker™ red gel food color
1 ¼ teaspoons Betty Crocker™ blue gel food color
½ cup Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting (from 16-oz container)
2 teaspoons Betty Crocker™ red, white and blue candy sprinkles, if desired

Directions
1

Heat oven to 350°F. Generously spray 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with baking spray with flour.

In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil and whole eggs with electric mixer on medium speed
2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. In small bowl, place 1 cup of the batter; stir in 1 teaspoon of the red food color until blended. In another small bowl, place 1 cup of the batter; stir
in 1 teaspoon of the blue food color until blended.

Pour red cake batter into bottom of pan. Carefully pour remaining white batter over red
batter in pan. Carefully pour blue batter over white batter. (Blue batter does not need to
cover white batter completely; it looks better if it just forms a ring in the center of the
white batter.)

Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove cake from
oven. Let stand 10 minutes, remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

Place cake on cooling rack over waxed paper or cooking parchment paper. In small microwavable
bowl, place ¼ cup of the frosting. Microwave uncovered on High 10 to 15 seconds or until thin
enough to drizzle over cake.With spoon, drizzle warmed frosting back and forth over cake in
striping pattern. Divide remaining frosting between 2 small microwavable bowls.To 1 bowl, stir in
¼ teaspoon red food color until well blended. Microwave uncovered on High 5 to 10 seconds
or until thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over cake. Repeat with remaining bowl of frosting and ¼
teaspoon blue food color. Sprinkle candy sprinkles on top. Let stand about 30 minutes or until
frosting is set. Store loosely covered at room temperature.
