Basil-infused white cake in a fluted pan, paired with balsamic strawberries for a unique springtime treat.
Ingredients:
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
  • 1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
  • 0.66666668653488 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint, or to taste
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) for a perfectly baked dish.
  • Thoroughly coat a fluted tube pan, like a Bundt®, with a generous amount of grease.
  • Combine vegetable oil, eggs, and sour cream in a large bowl until well mixed; then add cake mix, instant vanilla pudding mix, and basil and stir until batter is smooth.
  • Gently transfer the batter into the pan.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the cake is lightly browned at the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then carefully invert the pan to turn the cake out onto a rack to cool completely.
  • Combine balsamic vinegar and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Boil the mixture, then simmer on low until it slightly thickens, about 5 minutes. Cool the syrup to room temperature after removing from heat.
  • Before presenting, gently mix fresh strawberries with balsamic syrup in a bowl; generously ladle the berries and syrup over the cake. Finish by delicately garnishing the cake with fresh mint leaves.
