BASIC WHITE TUBE OR BUNDT CAKE

 This easy to make cake starts with a cake mix but don't let that fool you. It is quite tasty.

1 pkg (18.25 oz) white cake mix

1 pkg (4 serving size) instant vanilla or French vanilla pudding mix

1 cup low-fat yogurt or sour cream

1/2 cup canola oil

1/2 cup water or 1% milk

4 large eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Lightly grease and dust lightly with flour (shake out excess) a 10-inch tube pan or a 12 cup bundt pan; set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, place cake mix, pudding mix, yogurt or sour cream, oil, water or milk, and eggs. Blend for 1 minute on low speed; scrape down sides of bowl, increase to medium speed and beat for 2 minutes. Batter should be well combined and thickened. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth out with a spatula.

Place pan in center of oven and bake at 350 degrees until lightly browned and springs back when touched with a finger, approximately 45-50 minutes.

Place on a wire rack and cool in pan about 20 minutes then invert pan onto wire rack or cake plate. Allow to cool completely before frosting or drizzling with your favorite cake drizzle. May be left plain and served with fresh fruit or a favorite sauce.
