1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
3 egg whites
1 1/3 cups buttermilk

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9 inch round cake pans.
2
In a large bowl, combine white cake mix, 3 egg whites, 1 1/3 cups buttermilk, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Mix with an electric mixer for 2 minutes on high speed.

Spoon white batter alternately with red batter into the prepared cake pans. Swirl batter gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.
