  2. In a large mixing bowl, prepare your vanilla cake mix according to package instructions, substituting whole eggs with egg whites.
  3. Divide the batter into three portions; color one red, another blue, and leave the third uncolored.
  4. Spoon each colored batter into prepared cake pans and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 5-7 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
