Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Mix cake mix, eggs, water, and oil until smooth.
  3. Divide batter evenly into 4 bowls. Dye them pink, blue, green, and yellow with food coloring.
  4. Carefully layer the colored batters one by one into the baking dish, smoothing each layer gently to keep them distinct.
  5. Bake for 28-32 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. While the cake is still warm, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the surface.
  7. Whisk condensed milk, whole milk, and vanilla. Pour evenly over the warm cake into the holes.
  8. Let cool completely, then chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  9. Spread whipped topping over the cake and decorate with sprinkles before slicing.
