Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box white cake mix
- ingredients listed on the box (eggs, water, oil)
- 2 (3.3 oz.) boxes instant white chocolate pudding
- 3 1/2 cups milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (or more to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring (blue, green, pink, and yellow)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to a temperature specified on the box. Grease a 9×13 inches baking dish with baking spray and set aside.
- Prepare the cake mix according to the directions listed on the box.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and add a few drops of food coloring in each bowl, stirring well.
- Using a spoon, make small drops of each mixture in the bottom of the baking dish, ensuring to leave space between the drops.
- Continue adding the colored batter until the bottom of the pan is covered, then add another layer on top.
- Tap the baking dish on the counter to flatten, and swirl the colors slightly with a toothpick without overmixing.
- Bake as directed on the box.
- Once baked, let the cake sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes, and then poke holes all over the top with the handle end of a wooden spoon.
- Allow the cake to cool completely.
- In a bowl, whisk together the white chocolate pudding and milk until dissolved.
- Pour the pudding over the cooled cake, making sure to fill all the holes completely, then spread any remaining pudding on top.
- Place the cake in the fridge to set completely.
- Once set, top with whipped cream made by mixing chilled heavy cream and vanilla until soft peaks form, then add powdered sugar and mix until stiff peaks form.
- Spread whipped cream over the pudding layer and garnish with sprinkles before serving.
- Store in the fridge.
Notes
- Ensure the cake is completely cooled before poking holes and adding pudding.
