How To Make saint patricks day cake

• 1

  Preheat oven to 350 F for metal or glass pans.
  Preheat oven to 325 F for dark or coated pans.
• 2

  Grease sides & bottom of pans with shortening or oil spray. I use Butter Flavor Crisco.
  Flour lightly.
• 3

  Combine white cake mix, 1 cup of water, 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, & 3 large egg whites in a large bowl on low speed until moistened (about 30 seconds). Add 3 or 4 drops of green food coloring. Depends on how dark green you want the cake to be.
  I didn't add enough. I added only 3 drops.
• 4

  Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes.
  Pour batter into greased pans & bake immediately.
• 5

  If you use a 9 by 13 pan, like I did, bake for 25 minutes. Stick a tooth pick into the center & pull it back out. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
• 6

  Let it cool completely before putting the frosting on it.

  To help make it simple, (for my sister), I used can frosting on this cake. I added 4 drops of green food coloring to it & stirred it in.
