Modified White Cake Mix

Someday I would like to find a delicious from-scratch cake recipe, but for my sister's shower a few weeks ago, I just didn't have the time to experiment with different recipes to find a good one. Judge me if you'd like, but I always trust that I can get a quality cake starting with a boxed mix. For the shower though, I wanted something a little more than just a boxed mix, so I found a recipe that used a boxed mix as a base but modified the directions and ingredients slightly. The end result was a super easy, deliciously moist cake that would work for just about any event!

If you can get past the crazy colors, you should be able to see how light and airy the cake is--and this was three or four days after I baked it! Tomorrow I'll share how I got the colors to layer like that

Modified White Cake Mix
(recipe originally found here, along with a much better--and less colorful--picture)

1 box white cake mix
4 eggs
3/4 cup oil (I used canola)
1 3 oz box instant vanilla pudding
8 oz can of Sprite

Preheat oven to 350*. Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans (I made 24 cupcakes instead with no issue). Mix ingredients on low until just combined then mix for two minutes on medium. Pour into prepared pans and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (I think the cupcakes were done after closer to twenty minutes).
