To make the cake: In a large bowl with a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cake mix, cheesecake instant pudding mix, sour cream, milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds; scrape edges of the bowl. Beat on medium speed for 1-2 more minutes, until well combined.
In 3 separate bowls, add ½ cup of batter into each one. Add a few drops of food coloring (one color per bowl) to the batter, stirring well after each drop, until the batter reaches your desired color.

How to Decorate Easter Bundt Cakes
Add the toppings on top of the glaze right away, otherwise the glaze will dry and it will be more difficult to stick.
Make a colorful drizzle with your vanilla glaze or melted white chocolate.. Separate the glaze into several bowls and color each one with food coloring. Once your cake is cooled, drizzle each color in whatever design pleases you.

Other tasty additions include shredded coconut flakes (dyed with food coloring), mini marshmallows, edible sugar flowers, decorative sprinkles.
Decorate the cake with candy from your Easter baskets and egg hunts, such as candy eggs, jelly beans, chocolate eggs or marshmallow Peeps

How should I store the leftover bundt cake?
For best results, store your Easter bundt cake covered at room temperature for 2-3 days.
Can I use any flavor of cake?
Different flavors of cake can be used, but it is recommended that the batter be white or yellow in order to more easily dye it different colors. The same thing goes for the pudding mix, just make sure it doesn’t completely change the color of the batter. You can also add simple ingredients such as lemon extract or lemon zest to make a lemon glaze.

Can I make a bundt cake in a 9×13-inch pan?
Yes! The baking time just may need to be adjusted.
What are substitutions that I can make?
Use heavy cream instead of milk for the glaze. Since it’s thicker than milk, start out by adding only 2 tablespoons and mixing it in. Then add more cream only if necessary. Use plain greek yogurt instead of the sour cream to make it a bit healthier.
