This super easy cake or cupcake recipe is really yummy and the best part is, you can use any flavor that you want. You can use a color or colors to go along with a holiday or a flavor that sounds especially appealing.
Kool-Aid Cake or Cupcake Recipe
1 pkg. (2-layer size) white or yellow cake mix (I have not tried this with a chocolate cake mix, but I would imagine with certain flavors it would be good!)
1/4 c. KOOL-AID Sugar-Sweetened Soft Drink Mix (any flavor, we used lemon for this one)
Prepare the cake mix as directed on the box. When you are read to beat the batter, add the Kool-aid packet and then beat as you would. Bake as directed on the cake mix box.
When the cake or cupcakes have cooled, you can make your own frosting with the Kool-Aid too.
Purchase white icing/frosting and add one (2oz) package to the whole canister of icing. Mix well and then frost.
Yield: Check the box. Usually 24 cupcakes or one 8″ or 9″ cake.
Let me know if you make it, and what you think of it. This is a great recipe for the kids to make too, and you can even use different colors and swirl them together for flavor overload!

Great idea. They look soooo yummy. Will have to try that one. Thanks for sharing
Yum thanks for posting im so trying this tomorrow
I’m making a rainbow cake for my daughter’s first birthday this weekend and originally I was going to add Jello to the cake batter. I didn’t want to have a few good layers and then layers of lemon, orange, and lime smashed into the middle. The flavors just didn’t blend well. I’m wondering how strongly the Koolaid tastes compared to the strength of Jello.
