directions
- Preheat the oven according to the cake mix directions.
- Prepare the cake mix according to box directions. Divide the batter evenly in 6 small bowls. You will dye each bowl individually.
-
To make the colors, use the following amounts of food coloring. Make sure you scrape the sides of the bowls well while mixing to get any additional food coloring mixed into the batter. FOOD COLORING AMOUNTS:
- Purple: 9 red + 6 blue drops.
- Blue: 12 blue drops.
- Green: 12 green drops.
- Yellow: 12 yellow drops.
- Orange: 12 yellow + 4 red drops.
- Red: 18 drops red.
- After you have mixed the batter colors, line 24 muffin cups.
- Evenly distribute the batter between the cups in the order that you dyed them, layering them carefully. I used about a half of a spoonful of each color per cup.
- Bake according to cake mix directions.
- Frost with white icing and add rainbow sprinkles.

Founding member of 'Zaar from way back in 2005 when this site was in its heyday. I didn't really start trying to cook until I was in my 20's, but Recipe Zaar really helped build my love for food and showed me the beauty of culinary experimentation. I'm still here as of 2024 so I hope you enjoy the recipes that I've managed to compile over the last two decades. Thanks for stopping by!
