A vibrant and whimsical dessert featuring a moist white cake infused with colorful sweetened condensed milk and topped with a fluffy whipped frosting.

  • Total Time: 4 hours 50 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 box (15.25 oz) White Cake Mix (plus ingredients required by the box)
1 can (14 oz) Sweetened Condensed Milk
Neon gel food coloring (pink, purple, blue/teal)
1 tub (8 oz) Whipped Topping, thawed
1/4 cup Rainbow sprinkles
Optional: Edible glitter or unicorn-themed toppers

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven and prepare the white cake mix in a 9x13 inch baking pan according to the package instructions. Allow the cake to cool for 15 minutes after baking.
Step 2: Using the end of a wooden spoon or a large straw, poke holes across the top of the cake, spaced about 1 inch apart and halfway deep into the cake.
Step 3: Divide the sweetened condensed milk into three small bowls. Add 1-2 drops of different gel food coloring to each bowl and stir until the color is uniform.
Step 4: Carefully drizzle each color of the milk over the holes in the cake, alternating colors to ensure a rainbow distribution.
Step 5: Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the milk to soak into the crumb.
Step 6: Spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the top of the cake.
Step 7: Garnish generously with rainbow sprinkles and any other unicorn decorations before serving.

Notes

Ensure the cake is still slightly warm when poking holes to help the milk absorb better, but not so hot that it melts the coloring.
