Ingredient Notes

This easy patriotic dessert comes together using minimal ingredients! For the cake you’ll need a box white cake mix, a box of instant pudding mix, egg whites, vegetable oil, sprite, red, and blue food coloring.

When it comes to the pudding mix you get to choose which flavor you love the most! Pick between vanilla, white chocolate, or cheesecake flavor.

As for the food coloring, I find gel food coloring works best to give the most vibrant colors!

Once the cake is baked and cooled pour on the homemade icing that’s made of powdered sugar and sprite. Then finish it off by covering it in red, white, and blue sprinkles to really make this 4th of July dessert pop!

Even though this recipe will work in a 12-cup bundt pan, it works best in a 10-cup one. This is the pan I love for this recipe!

How To Make a 4th of July Bundt Cake

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Whisk together the cake mix, pudding, and egg whites in a large bowl.
Beat in the vegetable oil.
Mix in the soda gently at low speed until smooth.
Divide the batter into three separate bowls. Then color one bowl with red food coloring, one with blue, and leave one plain.
Portion out the batter in the greased Bundt pan. Alternating to try to put the different colors next to each other.
Bake until a cake tester comes out clean from the thick part of the cake.
Cool in the pan for 20 minutes before flipping the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Whisk together the sugar and soda until it reaches your desired consistency. Then pour the icing over the top of the cooled cake and cover in sprinkles.

Using whole eggs in this recipe would tint the cake yellow. The colors are more vibrant when the cake mix is white, which is exactly what we want for this festive dessert!
