Beautiful Butterfly Cake

Prep: 15 min | Yield: 16 servings, one piece each

Ingredients

  • 1 (18.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix*
  • 1/3 cup raspberry jam
  • 12 Oreo Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
  • 1 (8 ounce) tub Cool Whip Whipped Topping, thawed, divided
  • Food coloring
  • 1 cup Post Fruity Pebbles Cereal
  • Decorations: assorted ring-shaped hard candies and Mini Oreo Bite Size Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

Instructions

  1. Prepare cake batter and bake in two 9 inch round baking pans as directed on package.
  2. Cool for 10 minutes; remove to wire racks. Cool completely.
  3. Cut cakes crosswise in half. Spread two of the cake halves with jam; top with remaining two cake halves to form two stacks.
  4. To assemble, arrange cookies in center of large board or tray with edges slightly overlapping to form the "butterfly's body," securing cookies to each other with small amount of the whipped topping. Arrange cake stacks around body to resemble the butterfly's wings.
  5. Tint remaining whipped topping with food coloring as desired. Spread onto cakes.
  6. Decorate with whipped topping, cereal, candies and cookies.
  7. Store in refrigerator.

Notes

* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes. To compensate for the volume loss in a 16 ounce box, whisk 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour into the dry cake mix before proceeding with the recipe. To compensate for the volume loss in a 15.25 ounce box, add 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.

Substitute any flavor cake mix for the yellow cake mix.

Variation: For a refreshing citrus cake, prepare as directed using lemon cake mix, substituting orange marmalade for the raspberry jam.
