Description

Amaze your family and friends with this deliciously fun, bright, marbled (and light) Superman cake! If you love Twinkies then you’re gonna love this cake!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CAKE:
  • 1 box 15.25 Ounce Box, Vanilla (white) Cake Mix
  • 1-¼ cup Water
  • ½ cups Low-fat Mayonnaise
  • 2 Tablespoons Additional Low-fat Mayonnaise
  • 4 whole Egg Whites
  • 20 drops Food Coloring Each: Red, Blue, Green And Yellow (for Divided Batters)
  • FOR THE TOPPING:
  • 1 container 12 Ounces Lite Whipped Topping (Cool Whip Or Store Brand)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously grease and flour two 9″ round pans, then tap out excess flour.

Use the ingredients in this recipe but mix them according to the instructions on the cake box.

Divide the batter into four bowls. I used a large cookie scoop to divide the cake batter evenly. Add 20-25 drops of one color of food coloring into each bowl and stir (so one bowl will be red, one will be blue, one will be green and one will be yellow).

Put 1/2 of the first color in the middle of each prepared pan. Shake gently to distribute the batter evenly. Repeat with the other three (3) colors, placing the batter in the middle each time, then shake gently to evenly distribute.

Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 25-30 minutes. Note: When using low-fat mayonnaise and egg whites the cakes tend to bake faster. Remove from oven.

Cool cakes in pans for 10-15 minutes, then flip them out of the pans onto a cooling rack. Cool completely before frosting.

Put one cake onto your serving platter. Put a layer of lite whipped topping on the first cooled cake. Place the second cake on and cover the top of the cake with the lite whipped topping, lifting up with the back of a spoon to make soft fluffy peaks. Cover the sides with the lite whipped topping, with the same technique to make soft fluffy peaks again.

Cool! A couple of questions: So when you say make cake mix according to instructions on the box, I think to use the eggs, water and oil that the box mix specifies. Is that not what you do for this recipe? If not, then would you remove the ‘make cake according to instructions on the box’ note and tell folks what do do with each of the listed ingredients?

When done making the changes, just click ‘make recipe visible’ and ‘save’ and we’ll get this posted!
Thanks,
