Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz) Cotton Candy flavored cake mix
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- Optional: Cotton candy frosting, sprinkles, and cotton candy strands for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch cake pans or line with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cotton candy cake mix, water, oil, and eggs.
- Use an electric mixer to beat the ingredients together until well combined, about 2-3 minutes, ensuring no lumps.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes.
- Invert them onto a cooling rack and let them cool completely.
- Once the cakes are cool, frost them with cotton candy frosting and decorate with sprinkles and cotton candy strands, if desired.
- Enjoy your delightful cotton candy cake!
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter and better cake texture.
- Don’t overmix the batter; mix until just combined to avoid a tough cake.
- Ensure your oven is properly preheated for even baking.
- Let the cakes cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
- For an extra burst of cotton candy flavor, add a few drops of cotton candy flavoring to the batter.
