How To Make french vanilla surprise cake

  • Step 1
    Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.

  • Step 3
    Pour remaining batter into bundt pan.

    Stir 1/2 cup of frosting into the reserved cup of cake batter. Spoon this mixture in a continuous narrow ring, about 1 inch wide, onto center of batter in pan. Mixture should not touch center or side of pan.

    GLAZE - Mix 1/2 cup frosting with hot water until thin enough to drizzle. (Can also microwave just the icing until it melts.) Spread glaze over cake, letting some drizzle down the sides.
