Sprite Cake

This cake is super moist and tastes almost homemade! (For this cake I doubled the recipe, you could probably get a decent two layer cake if you only did one)

1 box white cake mix

1 10oz can Sprite (mini can)

4 eggs

3/4 cup oil

1 3oz box instant Vanilla pudding

Mix all ingredients together, but don't over beat. Preheat oven to 350 and grease 2 (or 3) 9 inch round cake pans.

Separate mix into however many bowls of different colors you'd like. We had 4, I've seen Rainbow before with 7 bowls. Food color away. Remember, the more vivid the color, the better and brighter it will bake. For the first color, use a 1 cup (or smaller depending on how many colors you have) and drop one circle into the center of the pan. Repeat with alternating colors, dropping the next on top of one another, creating concentric circles, like above. The previous color will get pushed out as the color on top hits. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool, cut tops off to make flat. You can leave the top one rounded or flatten it, whatever you like.

We used a whipped cream filling that was light and airy with fresh strawberries.

Icing

3 cups heavy whipping cream, beaten into soft, but firm peaks

3/4 cup powdered sugar beaten into the peaks

any food color

you want this icing pretty firm- almost like a regular buttercream icing.

Strawberries diced with a little sugar. Don't over sugar them or you'll get a ton of syrup and the cake will be really wet and can affect the icing.

When layering, put the icing first, then the strawberries on top, then the next cake layer.
