Ingredients

  • 1 white cake mix - plus ingredients per the box instructions- oil, water, eggs)
  • Food Color red, orange, yellow, green, blue & purple
  • 1 can pre-packaged frosting or homemade if you prefer
  • Lucky Charm marshmallows - just the marshmallows not the cereal
  • rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven according to the box mix directions.
  • Spray a 9x13 metal baking pan with cooking spray - set aside.
  • In a mixer bowl, combine the box mix ingredients & beat until combined.
  • Ladle out equal portions of the batter into 6 separate bowls.
  • Mix in several drops of food color - one for each bowl so you have a rainbow of batter.
  • Carefully drizzle batter into the prepared pan. I started with red & spread it out to cover the bottom of the pan. Then follow with orange - drizzling in a random pattern - do not stir or mix - just let them sit on top of each other. Follow with the remaining colors - yellow, green, blue, purple.
  • Bake according to the package instructions - remove & cool completely before adding the frosting.
  • Once cool, spread on the frosting, add the marshmallows & sprinkles.
