Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease three 8-inch cake pans.
In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, egg whites, vegetable oil, and water until smooth. Divide into three bowls; color one red, one blue, and leave one white.
Pour each batter into prepared pans and bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool cakes in pans for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack until fully cooled.
For the frosting, beat softened butter with powdered sugar until fluffy.
Assemble the cake by layering red, white, and blue cakes with frosting in between each layer.
Frost the top and sides of the cake before decorating as desired.
