Strawberry Tequila Rose Bundt Cake
1 French Vanilla cake mix in a box
1 (3.4 ounce) box of French vanilla instant pudding
3 eggs
1/3 cup oil
1 cup liquid ( I used 1/2 cup Fanta Strawberry soda and 1/2 cup Tequila Rose)chocolate covered strawberries (optional)
In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, instant pudding, eggs, oil, and liquid.
Mix on low speed for 1 minute. On medium speed, mix for 2 minutes.
Spray your bundt pan with non-stick spray, making sure you get into every nook and cranny, especially if you use a rose bundt pan like I did.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes and invert cake onto cake plate. Drizzle with Strawberry Glaze.
Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup Tequila Rose
1/4 cup FANTA Strawberry soda
Mix until smooth and of drizzling consistency. If the glaze is not smooth enough to drizzle, add more soda, a teaspoon at a time.
Chocolate-Covered Strawberries:
1 pint strawberry basket
1 (12 ounce) bag chocolate chips
1 tablespoon shortening
Wash and pat dry strawberries. Prepare a baking sheet by lining with parchment paper. Set aside.
In microwavable bowl, melt chocolate chips and shortening for 1 minute. Remove from microwave and stir until completely smooth. Allow to cool 5 minutes.
Dip strawberries in chocolate and place on parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.
