Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Generously spray bottoms and sides of 2 (9-inch) round cake pans with baking spray with flour.
  • 2
    Make cake mix as directed on box for 9-inch round cake pans. Stir in 1/2 cup sprinkles. Divide batter evenly between pans.
  • 3
    Bake 22 to 27 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • 4
    Meanwhile, in medium bowl, stir together 1 tub frosting and 1/3 cup sprinkles.
  • 5
    Flatten cake layers by trimming off rounded tops, if needed. Place 1 cake layer on serving plate or cake stand. Spread thin layer of frosting on top. Top with second cake layer. Spread remaining frosting on side and top of cake.
  • 6
    Cut graham crackers into pieces with large knife; place randomly on sides of cake.
  • 7
    Fit decorating bag with large star tip. Spoon 1/2 tub frosting into bag. Pipe 12 decorative swirls around top edge of cake.
  • 8
    Use small round cookie cutter to cut 12 rounds from remaining graham crackers. Place additional sprinkles in small bowl; place remaining frosting in another small bowl. Dip each cracker round in frosting then dip into sprinkles. Insert each cracker dipped side up into 1 frosting swirl on top of cake.
  • 9
    Sprinkle top of cake with additional sprinkles. Store cake loosely covered at room temperature.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Substitute Betty Crocker™ Whipped Chocolate Frosting for the Betty Crocker™ Whipped Whipped Cream Frosting and chocolate graham crackers for the regular graham crackers to give this cake a delicious chocolate twist!
  • tip 2
    We like to serve the Layered Confetti Celebration Cake the same day, as the graham crackers will start to soften with storage. Otherwise, decorate with graham crackers right before serving.
  • tip 3
    No decorating bag? Fill large resealable freezer bag with frosting; cut off one bottom corner, and squeeze frosting out to decorate.
