Ingredients

  • 1 box white cake mix
  • water Box mix recommended amount
  • vegetable oil Box mix recommended amount
  • eggs Box mix recommended amount
  • 1 Tbsp almond extract
  • green food coloring
  • Red food coloring
Glaze
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2-3 Tbsp vanilla coffee creamer
  • holiday sprinkles

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1.  Preheat the oven the 350 degrees.
  2. Make the cake mix however your box mix recommends. Add the almond extract to the boxed cake ingredients and stir it in.
  3. Separate the prepared cake batter evenly into three separate bowls. Place a few drops of green food coloring into one bowl, a few drops of red in another, and leave the other alone. Stir in the food coloring then add more color as needed to get your desired color.
  4. Prepare a bundt pan by greasing the bottoms and sides of the pan.
  5. Pour in all of the white cake batter so it covers the bottom of the bundt pan evenly. Then using a spoon drop small amounts of red and green batter over the white cake batter, alternating so you have red, green, red, green, and so on.
  6. Swirl the layers together evenly by using either a skewer or a knife and cut through the layers of batter. 
  7. Place the bundt pan with the swirled batter into the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes in the pan then turn the pan upside down and gently place the cake onto a cooling rack. Let e the cake finish cooling on the cooling rack until it's cooled completely.
  9. Make the frosting as directed below while the cake is cooling.
  10. When the cake is cool, drizzle the frosting over the top of the cake, covering the entire cake.
  11. While the frosting is still soft, decorate the cake with your Christmas sprinkles!
Glaze
  1. Whisk together in a bowl the powder sugar and 2 tablespoons of coffee creamer. Then keep adding a little creamer at a time until your frosting is a thick consistency and you can easily drizzle it over the cake.
  2. Let the glaze set on the bundt cake for about 15 minutes or until the frosting has hardened.
  3. Slice and serve immediately or store in the fridge until you're ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Cover and store any leftover Christmas bundt cake slices in the refrigerator (since the frosting uses coffee creamer) for up to five days.
  • You can switch up the extract flavor you use if you don’t like almond or don’t want nuts. Just make sure to use a clear extract so it doesn’t change the color of the cake. Peppermint, orange, and clear vanilla will all work.
  • Use a different flavor of coffee creamer. I enjoy vanilla coffee creamer in my glaze but you can use whatever flavor you like. You can also substitute the coffee creamer for heavy cream or milk, I just like the flavor of the creamer in this.
