Rainbow Cake - because you can have your own lil greasy spoon in the comfort of your home.
Recently at Safeway, Duncan Hines cake mix was buy 2 get 3 free! This recipe took one box of the almost free cake mix, gel food coloring, and 1 can of chocolate frosting. In total, it cost about $6 to make, was fun in the process, and earns you miles of street cred among fellow bakers.
Make your boxed cake mix as normal. Split into 6 even portions and add food coloring slowly until it reaches the desired color. I chose to do rainbow order, red, orange, yellow, blue, blue-green, and bright green.
Pour into two pans. I divided it by warm and cool colors. Pour all of your first color into the pan, then pour slightly less of the second and third colors so they form concentric circles in the pans. Follow the usual baking instructions, allow to cool, frost and enjoy!
