Ingredients

  • Cake
  • 1  box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® German chocolate cake mix
  • 1 1/4  cup water
  • 1/2  cup vegetable oil
  • 3  eggs
  • 1  bottle (1 oz) red food color
  • 1  tablespoon baking cocoa
  • Frosting
  • 1 1/2  cups white vanilla baking chips
  • 2 1/4  cups Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting (from two 1-lb containers)

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Grease or spray bottoms only of two 8-inch round cake pans. In large bowl, beat cake ingredients with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds; beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Pour into pans.

  2. Bake and cool as directed on box for 8-inch rounds. Slice each cake layer in half horizontally to make a total of 4 layers.

  3. In medium microwavable bowl, microwave baking chips uncovered on Medium (50%) 4 to 5 minutes, stirring halfway through microwave time. Stir until smooth; cool 5 minutes. Stir in frosting until well blended. Place 1 cake layer, cut side up, on serving plate; spread with 1 cup of the frosting. Repeat with second and third cake layers. Top with remaining cake layer, cut side down; frost with remaining frosting.

Tips & Notes

  • High Altitude (3500-6500 ft):

    Follow High Altitude directions on cake mix box.

  • How To

    Splitting cake layers is easy. Insert toothpicks around side of cake layer to mark middle point. Using toothpicks as a guide, cut through the layer with a long, thin, sharp knife, or pull a piece of heavy sewing thread horizontally, back and forth, through the layer.

  • Variation

    For a double-chocolate cake, use semisweet chocolate chips instead of the white chips and Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy chocolate frosting instead of the vanilla frosting.
