Recipes Made with Cake Mixes
Confetti Celebration Cake
Celebrate with an easy-mix cake that gets its wow from candy sprinkles and squiggles of decorator icing.
Ingredients
- 1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® white cake mix
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 egg whites
- 1 (1.75 ounce) bottle Betty Crocker® Decors rainbow mix candy sprinkles
- 1 (1 pound) container Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting
- 2 to 4 different colors Betty Crocker® decorating icing (in 4.25 ounce tubes)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease bottoms only of 2 (8 or 9 inch) round cake pans with shortening (do not spray with cooking spray).
- In a large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil and egg whites with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Reserve 1 tablespoon candy sprinkles for decoration.
- Stir remaining sprinkles into batter. Pour into pans.
- Bake 8 inch rounds for 27 to 32 minutes, 9 inch rounds for 23 to 28 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Cool for 10 minutes.
- Run knife around sides of pans to loosen cakes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Place 1 cake layer, rounded side down, on serving plate. Spread 1/3 cup frosting over layer.
- Top with second layer, rounded side up. Frost side and top of cake with remaining frosting.
- Decorate top edge of cake with decorating icing in random squiggly pattern, overlapping colors.
- Sprinkle reserved candy sprinkles over top of cake.
Notes
High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): Use 9-inch pans. Bake for 28 to 33 minutes.
* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes.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.
Special Touch: Enclose a sprinkle of brightly colored confetti in your party invitation. Scatter the same confetti on your dining or serving table, too.
