Step-by-Step Instructions for Red, White, and Blue Mini Cakes
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray three 9-inch cake pans with nonstick spray and dust lightly with flour.
- In a large mixing bowl, prepare the vanilla cake mix according to package instructions using only egg whites.
- Divide the batter into three bowls. Color one with red food coloring, another with blue, and leave the third uncolored.
- Pour the batter into prepared pans and bake for 10-12 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove the cakes and cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Use a 2.5-inch round cutter to cut circles from each cooled cake layer.
- Stack a blue circle first, frost, then add a white circle, frost again, and finish with a red circle on top.
- Frost the sides and top of the stacked cakes, smoothing out the frosting, and decorate with sprinkles.

Notes
Use egg whites for a pure white cake layer, and keep an eye on baking times as mini cakes bake faster than regular cakes.
