How do you make a pink cake mix?

You can't really make a *pink* cake mix from scratch. Cake mixes are pre-made, and there's no "pink" variety.

However, you can easily turn a white cake mix pink! Here are a couple of ways:

1. Food Coloring:

* Gel Food Coloring: This is the most common and reliable way to get a vibrant pink. A little goes a long way. Start with a few drops and add more until you reach your desired color.

* Liquid Food Coloring: This can also work, but you might need more than gel coloring to achieve the same shade.

* Natural Food Coloring: You can use beetroot juice, dragon fruit powder, or even red wine for a natural pink hue. These may have a subtle flavor, so taste and adjust accordingly.

2. Pink Ingredients:

* Strawberry Extract: Add a splash of strawberry extract to your batter for a subtle pink tint and a delicious strawberry flavor.

* Pink Frosting: If you're not concerned about the inside of the cake being pink, simply frost it with a vibrant pink buttercream or cream cheese frosting.

Tips:

* Start with a small amount of coloring: It's always easier to add more color than to try and remove it.

* Mix thoroughly: Ensure the coloring is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

* Use a light hand: Overmixing can toughen the cake.

* Consider the type of cake: If you're making a layer cake, you might want a slightly darker pink for each layer to be noticeable.

Enjoy your pink cake!
