Ingredients
- 1 box of white cake mix
- ingredients listed on the box for the cake mix you buy: eggs, oil, water etc
- 2 3.3 oz boxes of instant white chocolate pudding
- 3 1/2 cups milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pink, green, blue and yellow food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to the temperature that the boxed cake mix directs you to. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl prepare the cake mix as directed on the back of the box. Once you have the batter, divide the batter into four different bowls and add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl to make each color.
- Stir the batter and food coloring (you can add more drops till you reach the desired shade you’d like.) Using a spoon, scoop the batter up and drop the batter into the prepared baking dish, make small droops of each color all over the baking dish. (the drops are going to spread because of the greased dish, so work quickly)
- Once you’ve added all the batter lightly tap the bottom of the dish on the counter. Use a toothpick and lightly swirl the colors just a little bit, do not over mix the colors. Bake for however long the box for the cake mix directs you to.
- Once the cake is done take it out and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Then poke all over the top of the cake with the end of a wooden spoon or a large straw, about an inch apart. Let cool completely.
- In a large bowl add the white chocolate pudding mix and milk, whisk together until everything is dissolved. Pour the pudding mixture all over the top of the cake and spread around with a spatula, trying to get as much pudding into the holes. Spread any remaining pudding all over top of the cake and set in the refrigerator until the pudding is set. Approx. 30 minutes.
- In a large bowl add the heavy cream and vanilla extract and beat using a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Add in the powdered sugar and mix until stiff peaks form, about 5-6 minutes. Once the pudding is set on the cake, spread the whipped cream over top of the pudding layer.
- Add sprinkles to the top of the whipped cream (optional). Slice and serve!
