How to Make Heavenly Island Bundt Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
  2. Chop 4 ounces of dark chocolate into small shards.
  3. Roughly chop 1 cup of macadamia nuts.
  4. In a large bowl, combine one 15.25-ounce box of white cake mix, 1 cup of water, 3 large egg whites, and 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce.
  5. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, until well combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped chocolate, 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut, and the chopped macadamia nuts. Mix until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once completely cool, dust with powdered sugar (optional) and serve. Enjoy your tropical escape!
