Thinking Outside the Box-Cake

I grew up on "box cakes"... the kitchen isn't my mother's favorite place to be because she is so picky. However, one thing she did make often was box cake. It is a quick, easy, and yummy way to make a cake. Although I enjoy making my cakes from scratch, every now and then I crave the simplicity of the box cake.

As I was getting ready to start baking, I came across my friend's Facebook page that had a really cool idea for box cake...of course I had to try it and share!!

Here is what you need:


~Box Cake (everything the package says you need)
~I prefer butter instead of the suggested oil
~Food coloring
~Icing

Follow the instructions on the box...


Separate the batter into different bowls distributed evenly.



I used four bowls.


Then add different colors of food coloring to each bowl.





Pour the batter in the pan alternating the colors on top of each other.





Bake at the suggested time.

Ice the cake.... I used cream cheese icing on the outside and milk chocolate in between.



And Enjoy!
