3 eggs
1 C Unsalted sweet cream butter

Red and Sky Blue gel food coloring
non-stick baking spray
Red, White, and Blue sprinkles
Cake Directions
Preheat oven to 350º

Divide the batter and pour into 3 bowls
Add red food coloring to one batter portion and mix until combined
Add blue food coloring to the second bowl, then mix until combined
Leave the third bowl of batter without food coloring, or add several drops of this for gorgeous, white cake
Spoon small amounts of each color into the pan, alternating between colors
Once the batter is all added to the pan, bake for 25-30 minutes at 350º
Remove cake from the oven, then check with a toothpick or thin knife to see if cake center is baked
Let cake cool completely in the pan
Once cake has cooled, place a serving plate onto the top of the bundt pan, then flip the pan over so the cake rests on the plate
