Neapolitan Bundt Cake

Makes 15-20 servings

1 (18.2 oz.) box white cake mix (pudding kind) ¼ C. vegetable oil 3 egg whites 1 C. water 1 tsp. strawberry extract (or ¼ tsp. almond extract) Red liquid food coloring ⅓ C. chocolate syrup ½ cup prepared chocolate frosting, optional

Preheat oven to 325° and grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan.

In a big mixing bowl, beat together the cake mix, oil, egg whites, and water on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping bowl as needed. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes, scraping bowl as needed.

Pour 1â…” C. batter into a small bowl; stir in 1 extract and up to 12 drops food coloring. Pour 1â…” C. batter into a second small bowl; stir in chocolate syrup. Keep the remaining batter plain.

Pour a thin layer of each batter into prepped pan, one on top of the other. Repeat until you’ve used all the batter. Run a knife or chopstick carefully through the batter in a zig-zag or swirled pattern. (Or simply make three thicker layers.)

Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Invert pan on a wire rack to remove cake. Cool completely before slicing. Warm the frosting to a drizzling consistency and drizzle over the cake if you’d like.

Helpful Tips:

How to Make the Perfect Bundt

  • Make sure to grease all dips and ridges thoroughly with solid vegetable shortening.

  • Sprinkle flour liberally over the shortening; shake the pan to distbribute evenly then dump out excess flour. Or sprinkle with sugar instead of flour to make the cake glisten.

  • Get rid of air bubbles in the batter by LIGHTLY tapping the pan on the counter.

  • Remove the cake from the oven immediately when done.

  • Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes then slowly and carefully turn the pan upside-down on a wire rack to loosen and remove the cake.

  • When cake has cooled completely, store it in an airtight container or wrap well in plastic wrap and freeze for up to a month.

  • To clean your Bundt pan, simply wipe with a dry paper towel to get rid of excess flour and shortening then hand wash.
