Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Greasing your 9×13-inch baking pan is crucial to ensure that your cake releases easily after baking.
Mix the Cake Batter: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Use an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes until you achieve a smooth batter. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to incorporate all the dry ingredients and avoid lumps.
Pour the Batter: Carefully pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. This will help your cake bake evenly.
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Cool the Cake: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. This step is vital to prevent the whipped cream from melting when you add it.
Add Whipped Cream: Once the cake is completely cool, spread the whipped cream evenly over the top using a spatula or the back of a spoon. The whipped cream adds a light, creamy layer that beautifully contrasts with the dense cake.
Decorate: Generously sprinkle the crushed candy canes and festive red and green sprinkles over the whipped cream. This not only enhances the flavor but also adds a cheerful touch that is perfect for the holidays.
Serve: Cut the cake into squares and serve. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures that make this cake a holiday favorite!
