Ingredients

2 boxes (16.25 oz) Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ White Cake Mix
6 eggs
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups water
1 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
3 tubs (16 oz) Betty Crocker™ Original Rainbow Chip Frosting
1 package Betty Crocker™ gel food colors
1 package Betty Crocker™ neon gel food colors
1/4 cup rainbow sprinkle medley
Nonstick baking spray

Steps

1

Begin by gathering your ingredients.
2

Heat oven to 350° F. Spray six 9-inch round cake pans with nonstick baking spray. Set aside.
3

In a large bowl or stand mixer, mix together cake mix, eggs, butter and water. Mix just until combined.
4

Separate 1 cup of cake batter into 6 small bowls. Tint 1 red or pink, 1 orange, 1 yellow, 1 neon green, 1 blue and 1 purple. Pour each color into a prepared cake pan.
5

Bake for 12-13 minutes, or just until the center of each cake sets, but not long enough for the cake to brown. Remove and cool completely before frosting.
6

To frost, place Rainbow Chip frosting in a large icing bag. Pipe icing about 1/4-inch from the edge of the purple cake, then pipe a swirl of icing around the inside of the cake.
7

Gently place the blue cake on top of the purple layer. Repeat with green, yellow, orange and pink layers.
8

Top with a thin layer of frosting and decorate with rainbow sprinkles.
