Rainbow Cake

Here's a fun cake for any occasion. It's really simple to do and kids love all the crazy colors. This would be a great cake to make for the fourth of July, using red, white and blue coloring for the cake.

Take a standard white cake mix batter and divide it up into bowls (for as many colors as you have). 

Squirt in the coloring and let the kiddos mix it up. Gel colors will give you a more vibrant solid color than food coloring liquid.

I used a bundt pan, but any pan works fine. Just layer globs of batter in any pattern.

Bake as directed...

Frost and decorate as desired...

(my girls chose pink frosting with sprinkles)

And when you cut into the cake, you get a different colorful rainbow in each slice. How cool is that?

In a large bowl, mix together the cake and pudding mixes, sour cream, oil, beaten eggs and water. Pour batter into a well greased 12 cup bundt pan.
