Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 box white cake mix (plus ingredients needed per package: eggs, oil, water)
  • Food coloring (pink, purple, and blue)

For the Pudding Filling:

  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk

For the Frosting and Decoration:

  • 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
  • Assorted unicorn-themed sprinkles
  • Optional: Candy decorations or unicorn horn topper

Instructions

  • Bake the Cake:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
    • Prepare the white cake mix according to package instructions.
    • Divide the batter evenly into three bowls. Tint each bowl with pink, purple, and blue food coloring.
    • Drop spoonfuls of each color into the baking pan, swirling gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.
    • Bake according to the package instructions. Allow the cake to cool completely.
  • Poke and Fill:

    • Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the cooled cake.
    • In a bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened.
    • Pour the pudding over the cake, filling the holes. Smooth the top with a spatula.
    • Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to set.
  • Frost and Decorate:

    • Spread the whipped topping evenly over the chilled cake.
    • Decorate with unicorn-themed sprinkles and candy decorations.
    • Place a unicorn horn topper for an extra magical touch (optional).
  • Serve and Enjoy:

    • Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy the colorful layers and creamy pudding filling!

Notes

  • You can use any food coloring brand you like for the vibrant layers.
  • For a fun extra touch, consider adding a unicorn topper or themed candles to make it even more magical.
  • If you’re in a time crunch, you can skip the chill time and serve right after frosting (but chilling helps the pudding set properly).
