Ingredients
Cake:
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 3.4 oz package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 c granulated sugar
- 1/4 c brown sugar
- 3/4 c water
- 3/4 c vegetable oil
- 1/2 c white wine
Butter Glaze:
- 1/2 c unsalted butter
- 1 c granulated sugar
- 1/4 c white wine
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 10-inch Bundt pan, with butter or cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl combine the cake mix, vanilla pudding mix, eggs, cinnamon, granulated sugar, brown sugar, water, vegetable oil and white wine. Gently stir the ingredients together until they are just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Pour the batter into the greased bundt pan. Place it in the oven. Bake for approximately 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking you can prepare the glaze. In a saucepan over medium-high heat melt the butter. Add granulated sugar and white wine to it. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Until all sugar has dissolved completely.
- Once your cake is done baking use a fork to poke holes over it while it's still hot. Pour the butter glaze slowly over the surface of the cake so that it seeps into those little holes.
- To serve your cake gently loosen it from the pan using a knife or spatula. Carefully invert it, onto a serving plate. Enjoy this treat while it's still warm!
