Mardi Gras Bundt Cake with Icing | Easy Mardi Gras Recipe

Mardi Gras Bundt Cake is so festive and colorful. Food coloring is used turn the cake batter into the purple, green and gold Mardi Gras colors. This Mardi Gras cake is the perfect Fat Tuesday dessert.

I am a huge fan of bundt cakes because they are so easy to make! Everything goes in one pan. You bake it, let it cool, then turn it over and it’s done! Bundt pans come in all different patterns. The best bundt pans for baking will be made of metal and have a non-stick surface. Do not use silicone, glass or ceramic bundt pans. Aluminum and steel bundt pans are best for conducting heat and browning the cake evenly. This might be personal preference, but I like a bundt pan that has a wide edge or come with grips, so I do not accidentally get my fingers in the cake when I am turning the pan over. The Wilton Perfect Results Non-Stick Fluted Tube Pan is top rated.
