Chocolate Rainbow Bundt Cake

A moist chocolate cake bursting with rainbow colors and fun sprinkles! A cake that is simple to create, but, makes a big impression.

My Budding Baker is back again! Today, he made you guys this crazy fun and delicious rainbow cake. It’s really easy to make, but, does have a few steps, so, let’s get right to it!

Ingredients Needed:

• Chocolate cake mix + ingredients called for on box
• Vanilla cake mix + ingredients called for on box
• Food coloring
• Vanilla frosting
• Sprinkles

How to Make:

1. In one bowl, make the chocolate cake mix as directed on the box. In a second bowl, make the vanilla cake mix as directed on the box.
2. Set aside the chocolate batter. Separate the vanilla batter evenly into 4-5 bowls. Tint each bowl with a different color, using your food coloring.

How to Make ( cont’d)

1. ( #3) Spread 1/2 of the chocolate batter into prepared bundt (tube) pan.
2. (#4) Spoon each color of batter on top of the chocolate batter that is already in the bundt pan.
3. ( #5) Then, top with nearly all of the chocolate cake batter. It’s best to leave out about a third of it. This will help avoid your batter from overflowing. Bake.
4. Let the cake cool compltey before frosting. ( see bottom of post for tips on removing your cake from the pan)

To Frost:

• Divide vanilla frosting evenly into 4-5 bowls. Tint each bowl with a different color with food coloring. Drizzle each color on top of cooled cake. Top with sprinkles.

A few notes:

• Cake Mix: Any brand or chocolate variety will work. Just be sure to stick with a “standard” size box of cake mix. Anywhere from 15-18 oz is fine.
• If your frosting is a bit too thick to drizzle, whisk in a teaspoon of milk to help thin it out.
• Worried about the cake overflowing? It shouldn’t. However, if this is a concern, place the bundt pan on top of a large flat rimmed baking sheet, then, bake as normal.

A few tips for removing your cake from the bundt pan:

• Use a generous amount of non stick baking spray. You can also use a good old fashion stick of butter to grease it too or use a cooking spray with flour included in.
• Next, make sure your cake is well cooled before attempting to remove it. Gently, take a sharp knife and run it along the edge and middle of the cake.
• Then, tip the cake upside down on a plate. Be sure the plate is larger than your cake. Let the cake fall naturally and if it’s still stubborn, give the bottom of your cake pan a gentle tap
