Ingredients
- 1 package white cake mix (regular size)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2/3 cup canola oil
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 3 tablespoons each lemon, lime and grape gelatin powder
- 1 can (16 ounces) cream cheese frosting
- Purple, yellow and green sprinkles or sanding sugar
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, sour cream, oil, sugar and eggs; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Divide evenly among 3 bowls.
- Stir 1 flavor of gelatin powder into each bowl until blended. Fill 24 paper-lined muffin cups with a scant 2 tablespoons of each flavored batter.
