1 (18 ounce) package (Ready to use)
Water
1 1/4 cups (Measured)
Vegetable oil
1/3 cup (Measured)
Egg whites
3 (Whipped to soft peaks)
Ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon (Measured)
Ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon (Measured)
Heavy cream
1 cup (Whipped)

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease only the bottom of a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan with cooking spray or butter.
2
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and egg whites with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Then, increase to medium speed and beat for an additional 2 minutes until well blended.
3
Set aside 1 cup of the batter in a separate bowl. Into this reserved batter, stir in the ground allspice and ground cinnamon until thoroughly combined. Set this mixture aside.
4
Pour the remaining batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Drop spoonfuls of the reserved spiced batter evenly around the pan (about 12 to 14 mounds). Using a knife, gently swirl the batters together in an 'S' shape for a marbled effect.
5
Bake in the preheated oven for 28 to 33 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan for 1 hour.
6
While the cake is cooling, prepare the spiced whipped cream frosting. In a chilled mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and the additional allspice and cinnamon. Beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
7
Once the cake is completely cooled, frost the top with the spiced whipped cream frosting using a spatula to create decorative swirls.
8
Just before serving, generously sprinkle each slice of cake with crushed root beer candies for a delightful crunch. Cover any leftovers and store them in the refrigerator.
