Recipe: Watermelon Slices Cake (using cake mix)

WATERMELON SLICES CAKE

1 box Betty Crocker SuperMoist white cake mix
Water, oil and egg whites called for on cake mix box
1 (0.13 oz) package cherry or other red- colored unsweetened soft drink mix
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons miniature semisweet chocolate chips, divided use
1 (12 oz) container Betty Crocker Whipped fluffy white frosting
Green and red liquid food colors
2/3 cup green jelly beans

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease bottoms only of two 8- or 9-inch round pans with shortening or cooking spray.

In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil, egg whites and drink mix with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds; beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips. Pour into pans.

Bake 27 to 32 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

In small bowl, stir 1 cup frosting with 10 to 20 drops green food color. Stir 10 to 20 drops red food color into remaining frosting.

Frost sides of cakes with green frosting; press green jelly beans into frosting. Frost tops of cakes with red frosting; press remaining 2 tablespoons chocolate chips into frosting for seeds.
