1 1/4 cups water
1/3 cup vegetable oil

8 drops red food coloring
2 drops raspberry candy oil

2. Beat cake mix, water, oil, and egg whites on low for 30 seconds, then medium for 2 minutes.
3. Fill liners 1/3 full with white batter.
4. Stir 4 drops red coloring and raspberry oil into remaining batter. Put 1/3 of this pink batter in a plastic bag.
5. Mix more coloring into the remaining bowl until it is orange-red. Put into a second plastic bag.
6. Snip the red bag corner. Squeeze 2 tablespoons into the center of the white batter.

8. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool before frosting.
Notes
Use room temperature egg whites for a smoother batter.
Do not skip the raspberry candy oil; it provides the signature flavor.
Pairs perfectly with a sturdy whipped cream frosting.
