Description
This crack cake is unbelievably moist and addictive—made with yellow cake mix, vanilla pudding, cinnamon, and a buttery white wine glaze.
Ingredients
For the Cake:
1 box yellow cake mix (Duncan Hines preferred)
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
2 tsp ground cinnamon
4 large eggs
¾ cup water
¾ cup vegetable oil
½ cup white wine
For the Glaze:
½ cup (1 stick) butter
¼ cup white wine
1 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
In a large bowl, mix cake mix, brown sugar, granulated sugar, pudding mix, and cinnamon.
Add eggs, water, oil, and wine. Mix until smooth.
Pour batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
Bake 45–50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
While cake bakes, make the glaze: melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in sugar and wine. Simmer until sugar dissolves, then remove from heat.
When the cake is done, poke holes in the hot cake using a skewer or fork. Slowly pour glaze over the cake in the pan.
Let sit for 10–15 minutes. Invert onto a plate and cool completely.
Notes
Wine options: Swap with Moscato, rum, or apple juice for different flavors or a non-alcoholic version.
Spices: Replace cinnamon with nutmeg or pumpkin spice.
Add-ins: Add chopped pecans or walnuts for texture.
Serving idea: Top with whipped cream or ice cream for extra indulgence.
