Rainbow Christmas Wreath Cake

Posted By Arlene Cummings
December 14, 2011

This beautiful cake is perfect for any holiday party or dinner. Everyone will be so surprised when they slice into it and see the amazing holiday rainbow colors.

This cake is going to become a family favorite in no time. It’s super fun and easy to make but the best part is that they all look different because of the rainbow, tie-dye design. That means that every cake is unique to the baker and you never know how the inside will look until you slice it. It’s like a work of art.

I sometimes think they are too pretty to eat but then I remember it’s made with yummy Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® white cake mix and drizzled with fluffy frosting, so it’s not just pretty it’s extra specially moist and delicious.

I start by mixing the cake mix according to the directions on the box and then pour 1/2 of the batter into a bowl then divide the other half equally into two other bowls. You’ll have three bowls of batter. I add some red food coloring to one of the quarters of batter and mix well and then some green food coloring to the other quarter and mix well.

I first pour the white cake batter into a greased Bundt pan, then the red batter, then the green batter and the remainder of the red and bake it in the oven according to the directions on the box.

Once cake is cool, I equally divide the frosting into 2 bowls. Microwave the white frosting for about 5-10 seconds on high then mix well with a spoon until it is smooth enough to drizzle over the cake.

With a spoon, I drizzle the white frosting back and forth around the whole ring in a striping pattern until I use all the frosting. Then microwave the other bowl. Before drizzling over cake, I mix in a few drops of green food coloring and then drizzle that back and forth. It’s a fun way to frost the cake. If you bake with your kids they will love this part. I then give it a sprinkle with some holiday sprinkles and that’s it.  You will be amazed at how pretty it looks when you slice it. Trust me when I tell you that everyone will talk about this cake and want to know how you made it.  As with all my recipes and tips don’t be afraid to get creative and use some red in the frosting or some golden cake with the red and green. It’s fun to make it your own way with this basic technique.

I'm going to make this for Christmas. It is sort of like the neopolitan cake. You divide the white cake batter in thirds. One will be strawberry (red coloring and strawberry flavoring) one will be chocolate (Hershey's coco powder). Put the white batter in greased "bunt pan, then the strawberry, then the chocolate batter. With the handle part of a spoon, gently swirl the batter. Bake, turn out on cake plate when cooled and drizzle with a glaze or sprinkle with powdered sugar.
