A delightful and vibrant cake perfect for any celebration, featuring colorful layers and a creamy frosting.
Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the cake mix package.
Ensure your oven is fully preheated before placing the cake pans inside for even baking.
Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans to prevent sticking.
Use parchment paper circles at the bottom of the pans for easier cake removal.
Prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions, combining the mix, eggs, and water in a mixing bowl.
Mix until the batter is smooth to avoid lumps in the cake.
Divide the batter evenly into six bowls and add gel food coloring to each bowl to create vibrant colors.
Start with a small amount of coloring and add more as needed to achieve the desired shade.
Layer the colored batters into the prepared cake pans, starting with one color and adding the next in the center of the previous layer.
Tap the pans gently on the counter to remove air bubbles and level the batter.
Bake the cakes according to the package instructions, then let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Once the cakes are completely cool, level the tops with a knife if needed and frost the layers with vanilla frosting.
Apply a thin crumb coat of frosting first to seal in any loose crumbs.
Decorate the cake with additional frosting or sprinkles as desired, then serve and enjoy.
Use a piping bag for more intricate designs or patterns.
