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 1⅔ C. batter into a small bowl; stir in 1 extract and up to 12 drops food coloring. Pour 1⅔ 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.
