Ingredients in a Firework Bundt Cake
Don’t let this list of ingredients intimidate you. It may be long but they are very simple and you probably already have just about everything on hand at home already! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.
Cake
Cake Flour: I used cake flour because it gave it a great dense texture. See my tip below on how to easily make your own! Granulated Sugar: Sweeten up your cake with som sugar so that it has a delicious flavor! Baking Powder and Baking Soda: These will help the cake to rise. Salt: The salt will enhance all of the flavors in the cake. Buttermilk: If you don’t have any buttermilk on hand then you can make it at home using this recipe. Milk: I used 1 percent milk but you can use whatever is in your fridge. Vanilla Extract: Add in a splash of vanilla flavoring to this cake! Almond Extract: This is optional but when combined with the vanilla, it makes a deliciously sweet flavor. Vegetable Oil: If you want your cake to be nice and moist, don;t skip out on the oil! Egg Whites: Let your eggs sit out on the counter before you mix this all together and let them get to room temperature. Red and Blue Food Coloring: This is what will get you that beautiful swirled firework bundt cake.
Glaze
Powdered Sugar: This tastes sweet and dissolves easily making it the perfect ingredient to get a smooth glaze. Butter: I used salted butter in this glaze. Clear Vanilla Extract: Clear vanilla extract keeps the frosting pure white and doesn’t have a muddied tint. Milk: Add more or less to change the consistency of your glaze for this firework bundt cake. Red and Blue Food Coloring: This is how you will get this cake looking so festive!
How to Make a Firework Bundt Cake
The one thing that you need to make sure that you have on hand is a bundt pan! That shape is necessary to really getting the full effect of this beautiful cake!
Cake
Glaze
To make 1 cup of cake flour: Take your all purpose flour and measure out 1 cup. Remove 2 tablespoons of the flour and place the rest of the flour in a bowl. Add 2 table spoons of cornstarch to the flour in your bowl. Whisk together and use as a substitute for 1 cup of cake flour. Repeat until you have the amount that your recipe calls for.
In the Fridge: Because my house can get warm in the summer and cause the frosting to droop, I like to store this bundt cake in the fridge. I place it in an airtight container (they have specific ones to make storing a bundt cake easy- try this one). It will last about 5 days in the fridge. Let it come to room temperature before servingOn the Counter: You can also store your cake in an airtight container on your counter if you prefer. It will last about 4-5 days.
