What's better than cutting into a nice big, frosted cake? A pretty ombre surprise inside! Perfect for a bridal or baby shower, a friend's birthday, or a Friday night, this cake will wow your friends with truly minimal effort.
All you need are two boxes of white cake mix, two cans of vanilla frosting, and some red food coloring. You'll also need some tools like baking pans, a cake leveler, and a spatula. A food scale also comes in handy, but isn't a must.
Start by mixing the cake mix according to the directions on the box. If you're using a food scale, put the bowl you'll be mixing in on the scale before you begin adding your ingredients so you can get an accurate measure of how much batter you have.
Then start by adding a few drops of food coloring, two or three. Pour this light colored batter into one of your baking pans (either eyeball it, or put the pan on your scale and pour in one quarter of the total weight of the batter). Repeat this step with more food coloring each time.
Let your cakes cool before removing them from the pan. You'll want to level out each cake so that they stack more easily. I suggest putting a little frosting on the plate before you place your first layer, to keep the cake more stable. Then order them from light to dark or dark to light, adding a layer of frosting between each one. When you're done, frost the outside of the cake and then anxiously anticipate that first slice!
