4th of July Bundt Cake combines 5 ingredients with food coloring to make a delicious patriotic dessert that's covered in icing and sprinkles!

Ingredients  

Cake

  • 1 (15 oz.) box white cake mix
  • 1 (3.4 oz.) box instant pudding mix can use vanilla, white chocolate, or cheesecake flavor
  • 4 large egg whites
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • 8 ounces Sprite
  • Red food coloring
  • Blue food coloring

Icing

  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2 - 4 tablespoons Sprite
  • Red white, and blue sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease a 10-cup bundt pan (I used this one) and set aside.
  • In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, mix together the cake mix, pudding, and egg whites.
  • Beat in the vegetable oil until combined.
  • Gently mix in the soda on low speed until smooth.
  • Divide the batter into three separate bowls and color one them with red food coloring and one with blue and leave one plain.
  • Use small or medium cookie scoops or tablespoons or portion out the dough in the pan, alternating to try to put the different colors next to each other.
  • Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a cake tester comes clean from the thick part of the cake.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 20 minutes before flipping onto a cooling rack or plate to cool completely, about another 40 minutes before icing.
  • To make the icing, simply whisk together the sugar and soda until the desired consistency is reached. Then pour over the top of the cooled cake and top with sprinkles.

Notes

  • You can use a 7.5 ounce can of soda for this recipe.
  • 7up or Sierra Mist may also be used, but do not use Mtn Dew and it’s colored.
  • You do not want to add the egg yolks or it will turn the white part of the cake yellow.
  • You’ll want to use gel food coloring or my favorite - Wilton Color Performance. 
  • You can easily make this cake for other holidays by changing the colors.
