3 egg whites
1 cup water
½ cup vegetable oil
3 colors gel food colors (purple, teal, green or other spring colors)
2 pkgs 3.3 oz. french vanilla instant pudding
3-1/2 cups milk
2 cups heavy cream
1/3 – 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Multi colored sugar stars
Directions
Generously spray a 13 x 9 baking dish with non-stick spray
Prepare the cake mix according to package directions
Divide mix into 4 equal portions and tint 3 with food coloring, leaving one white
Spoon tinted & white batters into the baker in a random pattern. Use a toothpick to slightly swirl the colors and white
Bake at 350 degrees for 25-28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
Cool cake 10 minutes. Then, with a wooden spoon handle, poke holes at 1 inch intervals
Beat vanilla puddings with milk until the pudding is just beginning to thicken.
Pour pudding mix over cake, trying to fill all the holes. Smooth out the surface
Chill the cake in the fridge for at least 2 hours
Beat cream until soft peaks form. Add vanilla extract and powdered sugar and beat until firm peaks form. Be careful not to over-beat or you’ll end up with sweet butter
Spread cream evenly over the cake and refrigerate until serving
