Chocolate Strawberry Bundt Cake

 

 
It’s just a simple cake but oh so decadent and delicious with strawberries baked into the batter. So wonderfully moist you will want to eat it warm out of the oven or cold out of the refrigerator. It comes together in a snap and makes such a pretty presentation.  You can top it with a vanilla or chocolate drizzle. The secret?  It  starts with a cake mix, but that can be our little secret.

Chocolate Strawberry Bundt Cake

1 box chocolate cake mix 

3/4 cup vegetable oil

3 large eggs 

1/4 cup water 

3/4 cup chopped fresh strawberries

1 tablespoon corn starch

1 cup chocolate chips

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cake

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Toss chopped strawberries in cornstarch and set aside.

Spray a large bundt cake pan (at least 10-12 cup size) with non- stick spray or grease it with oil or butter.  Spray the entire pan if using non-stick spray, all the way to the top.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pour the cake mix into a large mixing bowl. Add the oil, eggs and water. Using a hand mixer, mix on medium for 3 minutes.  Using a spatula or wooden spoon, stir in the chopped coated strawberries and chocolate chips until well mixed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pour into prepared bundt pan and bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes.  Cool for 10 minutes and then invert onto wire rack or cake plate to cool completely before adding glaze.

Vanilla Glaze

 

1 cup confectioner’s sugar
1-3 Tablespoons milk 

In a small mixing bowl add the sugar and start with a tablespoon of the milk.  Mix and add more milk until you get your desired consistency.  Drizzle over your completely cooled cake.

1/2 cup heavy cream 

2 teaspoon corn syrup

4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
