Rainbow Clown Cake

Ingredients

• 3 egg whites

• 1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix

• 1 ⅓ cups water

• 2 tablespoons canola oil

• red paste food coloring

• orange paste food coloring

• yellow paste food coloring

• green paste food coloring

• blue paste food coloring

• purple paste food coloring

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.

2. Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until frothy, about 1 minute. Add the cake mix, water, and canola oil; beat for an additional 2 minutes on medium speed.

3. Divide the batter into six separate bowls. Use a toothpick to add a small amount of food coloring to each bowl, stirring to achieve the desired color. Repeat for each color.

4. Spoon the colored batter into the prepared pans, alternating the colors. Use a toothpick to gently swirl the colors together for a marbled effect.

5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Editor’s Note:

For this cake, you’ll need food coloring gels or pastes, which are more concentrated than liquid colors. These can be found at craft stores and specialty kitchenware shops.
