Fun Rainbow Cakes in a 2-cup Prep bowl (makes a great sunshine day gift or a pick me up to a friend or child... and they get the gift of a Prep Bowl
Rainbow Cake in Prep Bowl
1 box white cake mix made according to package instructions
Neon food coloring in pink, yellow, green, turquoise, and purple
3 2-cup prep bowls
1 can vanilla frosting
Rainbow sprinkles
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Oil the inside of the prep bowl.
Scoop about 1/2 cups of cake batter into five small bowls. It doesn’t have to be perfect, don’t panic if you get a little more of less of one color than another. Tint each bowl of cake batter with the food coloring until very vibrant.
Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the purple batter into the bottom of each prep bowl. Spoon equal amounts of turquoise batter, then green, yellow, and pink. Place the jars in a shallow baking dish, add about 1/4″ in water in the baking dish. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Alternately, you can microwave the bowls for 4 minutes each.
Remove prep bowls and allow to cool completely before scooping a small portion from the top of your cake and adding a hefty dollop of vanilla buttercream to the top. Sprinkle & serve, or cover with a lid and store in the fridge or pop into the mail & surprise someone you love!
