I am looking for a recipe for a pink cake. Not for the icing but for the cake itself. I saw the pink champagne cake recipe but I don't think I want that one. Anyone have a recipe? thanks

You could always do a white cake with some "pink" food coloring in it. I made a green cake once like that. It was for St Patty's day of course.

What about strawberry?

i made a pink cake once before... just made a white buttercake and added a couple of teaspoons of cochineal essence or pink food colour would work the same... the only thing is when it was cooked it looked alittle greenish on the out side ( like the colouring didnt work) but once i cut into it it was pink alright....

I would do strawbeery or just add in pink food coloring. You can get the exact shade you want. Very easy.

I am in the process right now of baking my new recipe. I was going to wait until I was finished to see how it turned out to post it but, the batter tastes really good so I'll give it to you.

It is Strawberry cheesecake cake.

I used vanilly cake batter, Strawberry nectar instead of water, strawberry puree(just a couple spoonfulls), a box of cheesecake pudding and the rest of the ingredients per the box.

The batter is a pale pink. And so far it tastes good.

If you want it pinker you can add food coloring I guess.

Strawberry glaze would work to!

Like the other posters, I just add in my Americolor gels to the batter. Works like a charm. Lots of times I also tie-dye the batter so it is all kinds of colors.

Good Luck!

My mother in law made me a baby shower cake the other day and since we dont know exactly what sex we are having, she made the cake with two layers.... one was pink and the other was blue. She used white cake and added plain old food coloring into the mix... it turned out really cute and tasted great just like always!!

My suggestion is to use some of the juice from a jar of marashino cherries. Add it to a white cake recipe. Gives a nice flavor and color.

Oh good idea Price!

I was just trying a new recipe also, lol...
white cake mix (DH no less!) + 1 small pkg of strawberry jello= a deep carnation pink...not hot pink, just a nice, rich shade.
HTH!
