Rainbow Christmas Wreath Cake
Ingredients
- 1 Box Betty Crocker, SuperMoist white cake mix,
- water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
- Red and green food color
- 1 Container (12 oz) Betty Crocker Whipped fluffy white frosting,
- red, green and white candy sprinkles
Directions
- Heat oven to 325°F. Generously grease 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with shortening or cooking spray.
- Make cake mix as directed on box, using water, oil and eggs.
- Pour half of the batter into medium bowl; set aside.
- Divide the other half of batter equally between 2 small bowls. (You will be left with 3 bowls of batter.)
- Add red food coloring to 1 of the small bowls and mix well.
- Add green food coloring to the second small bowl and mix well.
- Pour half of the white batter from medium bowl into cake pan. Carefully pour red batter over white batter in pan.
- Carefully pour green batter over red batter.
- Then pour remaining white batter from medium bowl over the top. Do not mix the colors.
- Bake as directed on box until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Turn pan upside down onto cooling rack placed over a cookie sheet; remove pan. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Place cake on serving plate.
- Divide frosting between 2 small microwavable bowls.
- Microwave 1 bowl on High about 5 to 10 seconds; mix well with spoon until smooth enough to drizzle.
- With the spoon, drizzle white frosting back and forth around the whole cake in a striping pattern until you use all of the frosting (allow some frosting to drip down onto plate in middle of cake, if desired).
- Microwave second bowl of frosting; stir in a few drops of green food color. Drizzle over cake, scattering back and forth in the same type of striping pattern.
- Decorate with sprinkles.
- Let stand until frosting is set before serving.
HELPFUL TIPS: When you add batter to the cake pan, don’t stir it. Just pour it so the colors rest on top of each other.
A nonstick pan makes it a lot easier to get the cake out.
