I developed this cake for an Easter party and it was beautiful! It was a refreshing new blend of flavors and now I use fresh herbs as often as I can when I making desserts! This cake sits well. You can serve the berries on the side as well.
Ingredients
- ½ 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
- 2/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint, or to taste
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Generously grease a fluted tube pan (such as a Bundt®).
Step 3
Stir vegetable oil, eggs, and sour cream in a large bowl until thoroughly combined; stir in cake mix, instant vanilla pudding mix, and basil until batter is smooth.
Step 4
Pour batter into prepared pan.
Step 5
Bake until the cake is lightly browned at the edges and a toothpick inserted into the thickest part of the cake comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
Step 6
Let cake cool in pan for 20 minutes before inverting to turn cake out onto rack to cool completely.
Step 7
Stir balsamic vinegar with sugar in a saucepan and place over medium heat. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until vinegar syrup is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool syrup to room temperature.
Step 8
Just before serving, stir strawberries with balsamic syrup in a bowl; spoon berries and syrup over the cake. Sprinkle cake with fresh mint.
