Instructions

  8. For the blue swirl, scoop out another 1 ½ cups of batter and place it into a third bowl.
  9. Mix red food coloring into one bowl of plain batter.
  10. Mix blue food coloring into the other bowl of plain batter.
  11. Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, drop one scoop of plain batter into the prepared bundt pan.

  13. Drop 1/4 cup of blue batter on top of the red batter.
  14. Continue alternating between plain and colored batters until all three batters are used.
  15. Give the pan a couple of taps to level out the batter. Do not stir.

  17. Cool cake in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
  18. Invert the cake onto a wire rack and cool completely.

Notes

  • Use gel food coloring for vibrant colors.
  • Room temperature ingredients ensure even mixing.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender.
