Equipment

  • mixing bowls
  • 9x13 cake pan
  • wooden spoon or skewer

Ingredients

  • 15.25 ounces white cake mix
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 3.3 ounces instant white chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 ¾ cups milk
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Assorted food coloring pink-green-blue-yellow
  • Easter sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, oil and water and mix thoroughly for 2 minutes with an electric or stand mixer.
  • Separate the batter into 4 equal parts in small bowls and add 1 drop of food coloring to each bowl to reach desired color.
  • In a greased, 9x13 pan, scoop small amounts of batter in alternating drops. Once all the batter is in the pan, use a toothpick to swirl gently to slightly combine the colors. Once through is enough, or the colors will become muddied.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out cleanly. Remove and set aside for a minute.
  • In a large bowl, combine the instant pudding and milk and whisk until it starts to thicken.
  • Immediately pour over the cake before it starts to set. Place in the refrigerator and allow to cool for up to 3 hours.
  • In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks start to form.
  • Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Spread the whipped cream over the top of the entire cake and decorate as desired with colorful sprinkles.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
