Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box white cake mix (15.25 oz)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- Red and blue food coloring
- 1 tub (16 oz) vanilla or cream cheese frosting
- Red, white, and blue sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
- Prepare the cake mix according to package directions by mixing with eggs, oil, and water until smooth.
- Divide the batter evenly into three bowls. Tint one red, one blue, and leave one white.
- Pour each colored batter into its own prepared pan and smooth the tops.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cakes cool completely.
- Level the cakes if needed. Stack them on a cake stand, spreading a layer of frosting between each.
- Frost the outside of the cake with remaining frosting and decorate with sprinkles if desired.
- Chill before slicing for cleaner cuts.
Notes
- Use gel food coloring for more vibrant layers without thinning the batter.
- This cake can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- For extra flair, pipe colored frosting around the base or top of the cake.
