Servings: persons

1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
2/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup white sugar
1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint, or to taste

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Generously grease a fluted tube pan (such as a Bundt(R)).
3
Stir vegetable oil, eggs, and sour cream in a large bowl until thoroughly combined; stir in cake mix, instant vanilla pudding mix, and basil until batter is smooth.

Pour batter into prepared pan.
5
Bake until the cake is lightly browned at the edges and a toothpick inserted into the thickest part of the cake comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
6
Let cake cool in pan for 20 minutes before inverting to turn cake out onto rack to cool completely.

Stir balsamic vinegar with sugar in a saucepan and place over medium heat. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until vinegar syrup is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool syrup to room temperature.
