A good friend of mine made this cake for her daugther's B-day party. It was adorable and delicious. She gave me the recipe and I am posting it for safe keeping.

Ingredients:

1 (7 ounce) package chocolate-covered raisins

20 drops red food coloring, divided

1 (18 1/4 ounce) package white cake mix

3 egg whites (or as called for by your cake mix)

1/3 cup oil (or as called for by your cake mix)

1 1/3 cups water (or as called for by your cake mix)

1 (16 ounce) container vanilla frosting

8 drops green food coloring

Directions:

1. Set aside 2 tablespoons chocolate covered raisins.
2. Prepare cake batter according to the package directions.
3. Add 12 drops of red food coloring and the remaining chocolate covered raisins to the batter; stir to mix.
4. Pour batter into two 8-inch cake pans that have been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, lined with wax paper and sprayed again with non-stick cooking spray.
5. Bake according to package directions.
6. Let cool for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
7. Divide the frosting equally between two bowls.
8. Add the green food coloring to one bowl; stir to combine.
9. Add the rest of the red food coloring (8 drops) to the other bowl; stir to combine.
10. Invert one cake layer onto a serving plate; frost the top of the cake layer with half of the red frosting.
11. Place the second layer on top of the first layer; frost the top with the remaining red frosting.
12. Frost the sides with the green frosting.
13. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate-covered raisins over the top to look like seeds.
14. Serve.
