- 3 cups cake flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan. Set aside.

- Add eggs and egg whites one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in vanilla until combined.
- Mix in buttermilk until well-combined.
- Add cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in on low just until incorporated.
- For the red swirl, scoop out 1 ½ cups of the batter and place it into a separate bowl.
- For the blue swirl, scoop out an additional 1 ½ cups of batter and place it into a third bowl.
- Mix in the red food coloring into the plain batter that you scooped out.
- Mix the blue food coloring into the other bowl of plain batter that you scooped out.
- Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, drop one scoop of plain batter into prepared bundt pan.
- Using a separate scoop, drop 1/4 cup of red batter on top of plain batter.
- Using a third scoop, drop 1/4 cup of blue batter on top of the red batter.
- Continue to alternate between plain and colored batters until all three batters are gone.
- Give the pan a couple of taps to level out the batter, if necessary. Do not stir.
- Bake for 50-70 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool cake in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
- Invert the cake onto wire rack, and cool completely.
