Ingredients
Scale
Cake
- 2 boxes white cake mix
- 8 large egg whites
- 1 cup unsalted sweet cream butter, softened
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- Red gel food coloring
- Sky Blue gel food coloring
Frosting and Decoration
- 1 container white cake frosting
- Red, white, and blue cake sprinkles
Equipment
- 1 9-inch bundt cake pan
Instructions
- Prepare Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, egg whites, softened butter, and whole milk. Beat at medium speed until smooth and well blended, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Divide and Color: Evenly divide the cake batter into three separate bowls. Add red gel food coloring to the first bowl, sky blue gel food coloring to the second, and leave the third bowl plain (white) to create the three patriotic colors.
- Layer the Batter: Lightly grease the 9-inch bundt cake pan. Pour the colored batters into the bundt pan in layers, starting with one color and following with the next, being careful not to mix the colors together to maintain distinct layers.
- Bake the Cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the bundt cake pan into the center of the oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the Cake: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a cooling rack and let it cool completely before frosting.
- Frost and Decorate: Once cooled, spread the white cake frosting evenly over the entire bundt cake. Sprinkle red, white, and blue cake sprinkles over the frosting to create a festive fireworks effect.
- Serve: Slice the cake into 16 servings and enjoy the colorful, celebratory dessert perfect for any festive occasion.
Notes
- Ensure egg whites are beaten thoroughly with the batter to help create a light and airy texture.
- Gel food coloring is preferred for vibrant colors without affecting batter consistency.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
- Use a nonstick bundt pan or grease well to ensure easy removal of the cake.
- Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
