Ingredients

  • FOR THE CAKE:
  • 1 Box Yellow Cake Mix 15.25 oz cake mix
  • 1 Box Instant Vanilla Pudding 3.4 oz
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 4 Large Eggs
  • 3/4 cup Water
  • 3/4 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1/2 cup White Wine any kind will work
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 1/4 cup White wine
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease and flour a 10” bundt pan.
  • Mix together the cake ingredients in a large bowl with a stand up or hand held mixer until combined and smooth.
  • Pour the batter into the bundt pan and bake for 45-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Combine the butter and sugar in a small saucepan.  Heat and whisk over medium heat until combined.  Then stir in the white wine.
  • Use a skewer or a toothpick to poke holes all over the top of the cake while it’s still in the pan.
  • Pour the glaze ingredients on top of the cake and allow it to soak into the cake.  Let the cake sit for 1 hour to cool and let the glaze soak into the cake.
  • Then gently run a butter knife around the outside of the pan to loosen the cake from the pan. Then place a cake plate on top and turn over to gently remove the cake from the pan.
  • Then the cake is ready to slice, serve and enjoy!

Notes
