Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box white cake mix
- ingredients listed on the box (eggs, water, oil)
- 2 (3.4 oz.) boxes instant cheesecake pudding
- 3 1/2 cups milk
- 2 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (or more to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Blue and red food coloring
- Sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to the 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 3 equal portions. One portion stays white. Add red food coloring to the second portion and blue coloring to the third. Stir well until the color dissolves completely.
- Using a spoon, make small drops of each mixture in the bottom of the baking dish. Work quickly to prevent spreading. Drop one color at a time, spacing them a few inches apart, then repeat with the other colors until the pan is covered. Tap the dish to flatten the surface. Swirl the colors lightly with a toothpick.
- Bake as directed on the box. After baking, let the cake sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Poke holes all over the cake with the handle of a wooden spoon and let it cool completely.
- Combine instant pudding and milk in a bowl, whisking until dissolved. Pour over the cooled cake, filling the holes. Spread remaining pudding on top and refrigerate to set.
- Whip chilled heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and whip until stiff peaks form. Spread over the pudding layer.
- Garnish with sprinkles before serving. Store leftovers in the fridge.
Notes
- Use gel food coloring for vibrant colors.
- Do not over-swirl the colors to maintain distinct layers.
- Chill the heavy cream before whipping for best results.
