Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 325°F and grease bundt cake pan.
Make cake batter as directed on box, using water, oil and egg whites. Divide cake batter into three separate bowls. In one bowl, stir in red food color, mix well. In second bowl stir in blue food color, mix well. Leave third bowl white.
Pour red cake batter into bottom of pan. Carefully pour white batter over the red batter in pan. Pour blue batter over white batter. (Blue batter does not need to cover white batter completely; it looks better if it just forms a ring in the center of the white batter.).
Bake as directed on box or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool cake 5 minutes and then transfer onto cooling rack. Cool cake completely, about 30 minutes.
