Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two 8-inch round pans. In a large bowl, combine the 1 box cake mix, 3 eggs, 0.5 cup oil, and 1 cup water. Beat until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Divide batter evenly between the two pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 3
Once cakes are cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread the 1 cup whipped cream evenly over the top. Place the second layer on top.
Step 4
Drizzle the 0.5 cup rainbow icing over the top of the cake in colorful stripes. Let set for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
