  • 1 package cream cheese (8 oz)
  • 2 cups whipped cream

Instructions

  5. Divide the batter into four bowls and add food coloring to each.
  6. Drop the colored batters randomly into the prepared pan and swirl with a knife.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before poking holes all over the warm cake with a skewer.
  9. Mix together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and whipped cream, then drizzle into the holes of the cake.
  10. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  11. Top with additional whipped cream or frosting and sprinkle with candies before serving.

Notes

Ensure to poke the cake while it’s still warm for better absorption of the filling.
