Neapolitan Bundt Cake
1
(18.25 oz.) pkg. white cake mix
1
cup water
¼
cup vegetable oil
3
eggs
1
t. strawberry extract
¼
cup chocolate syrup
3
drops red food coloring
2/3
cup confectioners' sugar
3
T. chocolate syrup
Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan. Preheat oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Blend the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs on low speed until moistened. Beat 3 minutes on medium speed. Pour ½ of the batter into the bundt pan. Measure ½ of the remaining batter into a small bowl and stir in the strawberry extract and food color (as much as you want to make a pretty, dark pink color). Carefully pour this into the pan. Stir ¼ cup chocolate syrup into the remaining batter and carefully pour this into the pan on top of the strawberry batter. Bake for about 40 minutes in a 350ºF (175ºC) oven. Cool 15 minutes. Remove from pan and drizzle chocolate glaze over the top. To make chocolate glaze: Mix together confectioners' sugar and 3 tablespoons chocolate syrup until smooth. If necessary, a few drops of water or a small amount of additional confectioners' sugar may be added until the desired consistency is obtained. Drizzle over top of the bundt cake. Yield: 8 servings.
