Ingredients
Cake
- 2 ¼ Cup cake flour
- 1 ½ Cup granulated sugar
- 2 Teaspoons baking powder
- ½ Teaspoon baking soda
- ½ Teaspoon salt
- 1 Cup buttermilk
- ¼ Cup milk
- 2 Teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ Teaspoon almond extract Optional
- ½ Cup vegetable oil
- 4 large egg whites Room Temperature
- Red food coloring
- Blue Food coloring
Glaze
- 3 Cups powdered sugar
- 3 Tablespoons salted butter Melted
- ½ Teaspoon clear vanilla extract
- 1-4 Tablespoons milk More As Needed
- Red food coloring
- Blue Food coloring
Instructions
Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Spray a 12-cup bundt cake pan with nonstick spray, I prefer to use one with flour in it.
- In a large bowl sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- To the same bowl add the buttermilk, milk, vanilla, almond extract, and oil. Beat with a mixer until fully combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until they reach medium-stiff peaks. Gently fold into the cake batter. Pour 1/3 of the batter into one bowl and another 1/3 into a third bowl. Tint the batters red and blue using food coloring, leaving the original bowl white and uncolored.
- Layer the colored batter in the bundt pan. Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the cake. Let cool completely before glazing.
Cup of Yum
Glaze
- Whisk together the powdered sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Add the milk one tablespoon at a time until it falls in ribbons off the whisk but sits on top of the glaze in the bowl for a few seconds before melting back in.
- Separate the glaze into 3 bowls. Tint one bowl red and one bowl blue. Add each color to its own piping bag.
- Snip the ends of the piping bags and drizzle quickly across the top of the cake, so it resembles a firework bursting. Add patriotic sprinkles, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
