Red, White, and Blue Bundt Cake

My daughter's birthday is the 4th of July so I like to find fun red, white, and blue treats to make for her. This year I decided to make a bundt pound cake that we could enjoy with fresh strawberries and blueberries at her party. Cake with slice removed.

Ingredients:

  • 1 box pound cake batter, prepared according to package
  • red food coloring
  • blue food coloring
  • bundt pan
  • Ingredients.

    Icing:

  • 2 Tbsp. milk
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • red food coloring
  • blue food coloring

Directions:

Preheat oven according to cake package. Spray bundt pan with non-stick spray and set aside.

Prepare pound cake batter according to package. Divide batter equally into 3 small bowls. Color one bowl with red food coloring and one with blue food coloring. Stir well and add additional food coloring to reach desired color.

Pour red batter into bundt pan and with a spoon, gently even out the batter.

First layer of batter, red.

Next, pour the white batter on top of the red batter.

Add white layer of batter.

Finally, pour the blue batter into the white batter.

Add blue layer.

Bake cake according to package. Cool and remove from pan.

Cake out of the oven.

Prepare icing by combining ingredients in a bowl, then dividing evenly into 3 small bowls. Color one red and one blue. Then using a spoon drizzle each color onto the top of the cake.

Mixing food color into frosting. Drizzling frosting onto cake. Slice of cake.

This looks like way too fun :D I can see all sorts of applications for this technique beyond the tri-colour July 4th scheme!
