Ingredients
- 1 (18.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons raspberry extract, divided (recommended: McCormick)
- 1/2 cup liquid from canned peaches
- 2 cans (16-ounces) white frosting (recommended: Pillsbury Creamy Supreme)
- Food coloring, red and green
- 6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
Directions
Add 2 eggs, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons raspberry extract, and 1/2 cup peach liquid to cake mix. Bake 2 (8-inch) cakes according to package directions.
Let cakes cool completely. Transfer cakes to inverted 9-inch pie tins to function as a cake stand.
Add remaining 1/2 teaspoon raspberry extract to 1 can of frosting. Stir thoroughly. Frost both cakes.
Divide remaining can of frosting between 2 mixing bowls. Add 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar to both. Add 7 drops of food coloring to each - red in 1, green in the other.

I can see why the directions are confusing, Sandra did not list the water as one of the ingredients, but you still need to add it! The only real difference is that you substitute one of the eggs for 1/2 cup of peach juice. But anyway, my cake turned out wonderfully! Instead of bothering with using another can of frosting to decorate the cake, I just used fresh raspberries on the top of the cake. Also, I didn't want to waste the peaches from the can I got the juice from, so I chopped them up finely and drained away all the excess liquid and put them in the middle layer of the cake with a layer of frosting and it was really good!

I made this cake for a graduation party and everyone who tried it loved it! Some reviews said that this cake came out really dry, which I didn't experience. It wasn't insanely moist, but it was not unpleasantly dry either. It was just fine! I also used the peaches from the can and put them on top to embellish, which also added some nice flavor! I definitely recommend this.
