Christmas Tie Die Cake, aka Christmas Bundt Cake, is the perfect cake to make for the holidays!! Can you believe Christmas is right around the corner!! This recipe is a spin-off of the Firecracker Cake for the Fourth of July. We made it a couple of Christmases ago, and it was a hit with our family that was in town.

I love to make new Christmas desserts. We have plans to make this cake into other color combinations for different holidays! I will say there was a lot of red food coloring to keep the red bright, but it was worth it.
Christmas Tie Die Cake Ingredients:
- White Cake Mix– You will want to use a white cake mix. No other mix will take the color the same way to make the colors vibrant in the cooked cake.
- Green Food Coloring
- Red Food Coloring
- Whipped White Frosting
- Sprinkles– You can skip sprinkles, but adding holiday sprinkles or glitter is the perfect way to dress up the cake.
- Ingredients For The Cake Mix– Water, vegetable oil, and eggs.
How TO Make Christmas Tie Die Cake:
Preheat your oven to 325 F.
Grease your Bundt cake pan; this will help the cake to pop out of the pan easily.
Mix the cake batter according to the directions on the box of cake mix in a large mixing bowl.
Pour 1 cup of mixed cake batter into a separate small mixing bowl and mix in red food coloring.
Next, pour 1 cup of batter into a small mixing bowl and mix in green food coloring.
Pour all of the red cake batter mixtures into the bottom of the greased Bundt pan.
Pour the remaining white cake batter onto the top of the red cake batter.
Layer the green cake mix on top of the layered cake batter in the Bundt pan.

Bake the cake as directed on the pan until done.
When the cake is done baking, allow the cake to cool for about 30 minutes in the pan and then turn it upside down on a cooling rack on a cookie sheet.
Carefully remove the pan from the cake.
Divide the container of frosting into two bowls.
Microwave the first bowl of white frosting for about 5-10 seconds
Using a spoon, drizzle the frosting around the cake
Microwave the second bowl of frosting for 5-10 seconds, then mix a couple of drops of green food coloring.

How To Store Tie Die Christmas Bundt Cake
Store in a cake-carrying container, or we used the Tupperware mega bowl for carrying and storing the cake. Store in the airtight container for up to five days, though ours tends to poof pretty fast.
