Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1 box white cake mix 15.25 ounces
- Ingredients to prepare the cake based on the cake mix water, vegetable oil, eggs, etc
- Red and Green Gel Food Coloring
For the Frosting:
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
- Christmas sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare cake mix based on the package instructions.
- Separate the batter equally into 3 bowls.
- Leave one bowl white. Add the red gel food coloring to one bowl until it is a deep red color.
- Add the green gel food coloring to the 3rd bowl until it is the vibrant green color.
- Spray a bundt pan with non-stick spray.
- Spread the uncolored cake mix into the bottom of the bundt pan.
- Dollop the red and green batter on top. Then use a knife to gently swirl the colors together. Do not over swirl or you’ll change the color of the cake batters.
- Bake the cake for 45-55 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Once cooked, allow it to cool for 10 minutes and then flip the cake onto a serving platter or wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting by mixing the frosting ingredients together in a medium size bowl. Start with 1 tablespoon of milk and gradually add more water until the frosting is an easy pourable consistency.
- Once the cake has cooled, pour the frosting over the top and let it drizzle down the sides of the cake slightly.
- Top with the Christmas sprinkles. Then the cake is ready to slice, serve and enjoy!

Notes
- Make sure to use gel or paste food coloring to ensure that the colors are vibrant and the red is a bold red and not pink.
- Store any leftover cake covered in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
