Step-by-Step Instructions for Vanilla-Chocolate-Strawberry Sheet Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 13x9-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs, mixing on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
  3. Divide the batter into three bowls; leave one plain, add cocoa powder to one, and strawberry jam with food coloring to the third.
  4. Pour the vanilla batter into the prepared pan, adding dollops of chocolate and strawberry batters on top.
  5. Gently swirl the three batters together with a knife or skewer to create a marbled effect.
  6. Bake for 28-30 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Beat the softened butter for the frosting until creamy, then gradually add powdered sugar and milk for desired consistency.
  8. Divide the frosting into three bowls, flavoring each with vanilla, cocoa powder, and strawberry jam, respectively.
  9. Once the cake is cooled, spread the vanilla frosting on top and swirl in chocolate and strawberry frostings.
