Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the cake batter by mixing the white cake mix according to package instructions or your homemade recipe. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
  2. Grease and flour the Bundt pan generously, then preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Pour half of the batter into the pan, then sprinkle the mixed Easter candy over the batter.
  4. Add the remaining batter over the candy layer and gently tap to release air bubbles.
  5. Bake for 30-40 minutes until a skewer comes out clean. The top should be lightly golden.
  6. Cool the cake in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth. Adjust consistency as needed.
  8. Add food coloring to the glaze and drizzle it over the cooled cake, adding reserved candy on top if desired.
