How to Make Fire Cracker Red White And Blue Cake Betty Crocker
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Generously grease and flour a 12-cup fluted tube cake pan.
- Prepare your cake mix according to package directions, using the specified amounts of water, vegetable oil, and egg whites.
- Divide the batter evenly into three separate bowls.
- To the first bowl, gradually add red food coloring, a few drops at a time, mixing thoroughly until you achieve a vibrant red color.
- To the second bowl, leave the batter plain (white).
- To the third bowl, gradually add blue food coloring, a few drops at a time, mixing thoroughly until you achieve a vibrant blue color.
- Pour the red batter into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Carefully pour the white batter over the red batter.
- Carefully pour the blue batter over the white batter.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Baking time may vary depending on your oven and the specific cake mix used. Check for doneness starting at 50 minutes.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Invert the cake onto a wire rack placed over a baking sheet to cool completely (about 30-45 minutes).
- Once the cake is completely cool, prepare your frosting according to package directions.
- Divide the frosting evenly into three separate microwave-safe bowls.
- Microwave one bowl of frosting for a few seconds at a time, until smooth and pourable. Stir well.
- Drizzle the white frosting over the cake in a striping pattern using a spoon or piping bag.
- Repeat steps 15 and 16 with the second bowl of frosting, adding a few drops of blue food coloring until well blended.
- Repeat steps 15 and 16 with the remaining bowl of frosting, adding a few drops of red food coloring until well blended.
- Allow the frosting to set at room temperature before serving. Enjoy!
