In an ad I saw for Betty Crocker Cake Mixes from 1952, there was a recipe for a "Color-Vision" cake. The recipe basically took a cake mix and used flavored gelatin to add color and flavor to the cake and the frosting. Based on what I had in the pantry, I used orange gelatin and also added some drained crushed pineapple to the frosting, making an Orange Pineapple Color-Vision Cake, although you could use any flavor of gelatin. I took the cake to a party and people went crazy over it!

Kevin, good point. Never thought of the diff in measurements. The frosting you made, is that called "boiled frosting"? | ||

We hated it!!!
NOT!
OMG! That cake is so good. We were going to just have a little taste after dinner because we were both kind of full. Well a little taste turned into this.
But I do have a question. If you look in the pictures one of the cakes kind of started to run over as if the oven was out of balance or something which it's not. I checked it with a level. I guess i didn't capture it as well as I thought I did in the picture. It's not like it was rising up and then fell over it just started running over on one side.
Anyone know what would cause that to happen? I've never seen that happen before. Obviously it didn't affect the taste. If it would affect the taste I can't imagine what it would taste like had that not happened!!
Thanks Kevin. This one is a keeper for sure! | ||

Thanks, all!
Cuffs - yes, the frosting used here is sometimes called "boiled frosting" or "seven minute frosting" (although it takes a little longer, I think!). Chach - so glad you made this and your finished cake looked beautiful!! I don't know why one of the cake pans ran over like it did. Glad you liked the recipe! | ||

Tip on the frosting...If you add about 2 TBSP of corn syrup,the frosting will stay smoother and not get grainy, We ate this cake in 3 days..LOL | ||

We have just a sliver left or ours Hubby will likely have it for a snack when he gets home from work. I evened it off when I was home at lunch. I couldn't have an unsightly cake on the counter so I took a knife and evened it all up. You know that's the kind of guy I am. I really didn't want any but I'm always taking one for the team. | ||
