    TIPS from the kitchens

    Substitution
    SuperMoist® milk chocolate cake mix can also be used for this recipe.

    If you don’t have time to make the Cooked White Frosting, use Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy vanilla ready-to-spread frosting instead.

    Success Hint: You will need the whole 1-ounce bottle of red food color to achieve the intense red color that is characteristic of this special cake.
