Ingredients
- One box white or vanilla cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- ⅓ cup vegetable or canola oil
- 1 cup water or milk
- Two (3.4 oz each) boxes instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups milk
- 1¼ cups heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup confectioners' sugar
- Rainbow sprinkles
- Assorted food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° degrees F. Liberally grease a 13x9 rectangular light metal baking pan with cooking spray; set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat together the cake mix, eggs, oil, and water with a handheld electric mixer until creamy and incorporated, about 2 minutes. Evenly divide the batter among 5 or 6 smaller bowls and tint each bowl a different color of the rainbow.
- Spoon the different colored batters randomly into the pan in no particular order until all of the batter has been added to the pan. Resist the urge to swirl with a knife; this will muddy the colors.
- Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with moist, but not wet, crumbs. Cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and milk until combined. Poke holes all over the surface of the cake using the handle of a wooden spoon, then pour the pudding mix over the holes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
- Just before serving, make the whipped cream frosting. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the heavy whipping cream and confectioners' sugar together with a whisk attachment on HIGH speed until stiff peaks form, about 5-7 minutes. Frost the cake with the whipped cream, then garnish with the rainbow sprinkles. Store any leftover cake covered in the refrigerator.
