White Chocolate Cake
Description
This recipe uses a vanilla cake mix enhanced with dry white chocolate pudding mix, sour cream, vegetable oil, vanilla, and eggs to create a rich batter. The addition of chopped white chocolate chunks throughout the batter adds bursts of creamy white chocolate flavor and texture in the finished cake. The batter is baked in a bundt cake pan, resulting in a golden, moist cake with a soft crumb.
The glaze is made by melting white chocolate with heavy cream in short bursts in the microwave, then whisked until smooth to create a thick, creamy topping. Once poured over the cooled cake, it adds extra sweetness and a glossy layer of white chocolate finish.
This cake is served sliced and can be enjoyed as a dessert for tea, lunch, or special occasions. The bundt shape makes it visually appealing and easy to serve.

GLAZE:
- In a large microwave safe bowl (glass works best) combine chopped chocolate and heavy cream. Microwave for 30 seconds, remove from microwave and stir well. Return to microwave for another 15 seconds. Remove from microwave and whisk together until smooth (stirring will help melt chocolate).
