Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 3 1/4 cups cake flour
- 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp. whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 14 tablespoons (1 3/4 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 5 large egg whites
- 2 1/2 teaspoons yellow gel food coloring (such as Betty Crocker)
- 1/4 teaspoon red gel food coloring
- 2 16-oz. cans vanilla frosting
- 1/4 10-oz. bag large marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F. Coat 3 8-inch round cake pans with cooking spray. Line bottoms with parchment; mist again with cooking spray.
- Make batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Combine milk and vanilla in a measuring cup. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, scraping down sides of bowl.
- Reduce speed to low and alternate adding flour and milk mixtures to butter (begin and end with flour), until just combined. In a clean medium bowl with clean beaters, beat egg whites on medium speed until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, fold egg whites into batter in 3 additions.
- Create layers: Divide batter in 3 medium bowls (2 cups each). Add 1 1/2 tsp. yellow coloring to 1 bowl; stir. Add red coloring and 1 tsp. yellow coloring to second bowl; stir. Leave third bowl white. Spread batter into pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool in pans on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then remove to rack to cool completely.
- Level tops of cake layers with a serrated knife, if necessary. Dab small amount of frosting in center of cake stand and top with orange layer. Spread 1 cup frosting on top; add yellow layer and align sides. Spread 1 cup frosting over yellow layer, then top with white layer and align. Spread remaining frosting around sides, then over top. Smooth with a knife or spatula.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave marshmallows on high for 30 seconds. Stir until smooth and just warm to the touch. Pull off a piece about the size of 1 marshmallow and stretch between thumb and forefinger of both hands until thin. Drape strand over and around cake. Repeat until you reach desired "mummy" effect. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
