Ingredients

For the Cake:
🎂 1 box of yellow cake mix (e.g., Betty Crocker Super Moist Cake Mix)
🥛 1 cup of milk
🧈 10 tablespoons melted butter
🥚 4 eggs
🧴 6-7 drops of red food coloring

For the Frosting:
🧀 1 block of cream cheese
🥛 3 cups of heavy whipping cream
🍚 2 cups of powdered sugar
🍦 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
🧴 4 drops of red food coloring

Instructions

1- Prepare the Cake Batter:

• Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, milk, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until the batter is smooth and well integrated.
• Gradually add 6 to 7 drops of red food coloring to the batter until the desired pink hue is achieved.
• Pour the pink batter into a greased sheet pan, spreading it evenly.

2- Bake the Cake:

• Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes.
• Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
• Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

3- Prepare the Frosting:

• In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
• Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
• Slowly incorporate the heavy whipping cream, beating continuously until the mixture thickens and peaks form.
• Add 4 drops of red food coloring, adjusting for the preferred shade of pink, and mix until the color is evenly distributed.

4- Frost the Cake:

• Once the cake has cooled, spread the pink frosting generously over the top, making sure it's smooth and even.
• Optional: Add decorations or sprinkles of your choice for an extra touch of fun!

5- Serve and Enjoy:

• Slice the cake and serve. Enjoy the delightful combination of creamy frosting and moist cake in every bite!
