Prep Time:20 min

Start to Finish:2 hr

Makes:12 servings

Cake

1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® German chocolate cake mix

1 1/4 cup water

1/2 cup vegetable oil

3 eggs

1 bottle (1 oz) red food color

1 tablespoon baking cocoa

Frosting

1 1/2 cups white vanilla baking chips

2 1/4 cups Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting (from two 1-lb

containers)

1.

Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Grease or spray

bottoms only of two 8-inch round cake pans. In large bowl, beat cake

ingredients with

electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds; beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Pour

into pans.

2.

Bake and cool as directed on box for 8-inch rounds. Slice each cake layer in

half horizontally to make a total of 4 layers.

3.

In medium microwavable bowl, microwave baking chips uncovered on Medium

(50%) 4 to 5 minutes, stirring halfway through microwave time. Stir until

smooth;

cool 5 minutes. Stir in frosting until well blended. Place 1 cake layer, cut

side up, on serving plate; spread with 1 cup of the frosting. Repeat with

second and third cake layers. Top with remaining cake layer, cut side down;

frost with remaining frosting.

How To

Splitting cake layers is easy. Insert toothpicks around side of cake layer

to mark middle point. Using toothpicks as a guide, cut through the layer

with

a long, thin, sharp knife, or pull a piece of heavy sewing thread

horizontally, back and forth, through the layer.

Variation

For a double-chocolate cake, use semisweet chocolate chips instead of the

white chips and Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy chocolate frosting instead of

the

vanilla frosting.
