The Jossbot Sprite Zero Rainbow Cake

My latest baking adventure.
Because the getting-a-driver’s-license adventure wasn’t so great of an adventure anyway!

The deal here is to make a white cake all Rainbow Brite using food coloring. Fun!
The thing is that I used Sprite Zero instead of oil, eggs and water (just like that) and it worked, you’ll just have to bake it waaay longer, so give it a try and eat an entire cake without so much guilt.

Ok, so:

1. One 12-oz can of Sprite Zero for one 18-oz white cake mix box. Mix mix mix until smooth, don’t worry about the other ingredients. (Or worry and use oil, eggs and water, it’s the same).
2. Divide the batter in 6/more/less containers and add food coloring to each to create as many colors as you want (4 drops of each color will do). I made 6 because I ran out of ideas and couldn’t figure out how to make more colors.
3. Pour the little mixes in a cake pan. Start with a color and pour the next one on top without mixing anything, they’ll settle around. Continue until you’ve poured all the colors and give it a little hit against your counter/table/toilet lid/cubicle so the batter settles in.
4. Bake for as long as the box says, but if you’re using Sprite you’ll have to bake it longer (in my case, like 15 more minutes), so check every once in a while.
5. Done! Take pictures, write about it and eat the whole thing. Tomorrow you’ll make another one using only blue and pink. Or black and orange. Or red, white and blue.

Here are my pictures. I’m sorry it looks so Easter gay, next time I’ll add more color.
