My Mom’s birthday was coming up and I found this recipe on Confessions of a Bookworm and thought why not try it as it looked like fun!  I’m glad I did and I just might have to make it again for this weekend as with all the color’s it reminds me of Easter Eggs. 

RAINBOW CAKE!

Ingredients:

• White Cake Mix
• Vegetable oil
• 3 egg whites
• water
• 1 tub (8 oz) of whipped cream
• Food Coloring
• box of Vanilla Instant Pudding

Directions:

* Follow directions on box to make the cake mix

* Once cake batter is ready, separate into 6 different bowls 

* In each bowl add a different color of food coloring (or gel coloring if you have it)

* Spray two 8″ pans and start with one color and pour 1/2 of one of the colors in the pan 

* Pick the next color and pour 1/2 of the bowl on top of the first color… continue until all the colors are done  (DO NOT try and blend the colors, they will do it themselves)

* Start pouring the rest of the colors (one by one) in the other pan, just make sure you do the colors in reverse of what you did in the 1st pan.

*  Bake cakes per the instructions on the box.

*  Once cake is cooled you can make the frosting.  Take your tub of Cool Whip and Vanilla pudding mix and mix them together.. add some food coloring if you want color and then frost!

There is another way of making this cake (it’s the weight watcher’s way!) and you can find it at Omnomican.  If I do make this cake again this week I will be trying it this way instead.  I also think I might skip the vanilla pudding in the whipped topping and see how it is with just cool whip only.
