Ingredients

Scale

1 Betty Crocker French Vanilla Cake Mix
3 Eggs
1 Cup Water
½ Cup Vegetable Oil
1 Box of Jello Instant Vanilla or French Vanilla Pudding
3 Cups Milk
1 Carton of Cool Whip
McCormick Neon Colors Food Coloring

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil until well mixed.
Divide the batter into three bowls and color each with different shades using food coloring.
Using Ziploc bags, create a marble effect by squeezing colored batter into a greased 9×13 pan.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Once baked, poke holes in the cake using the back of a wooden spoon.
In another bowl, whisk together milk and pudding for five minutes until thickened.
Pour the pudding over the cake to soak into the holes.
Cover evenly with Cool Whip and add sprinkles if desired.
