Ingredients
For the Cake:
-
1 box Duncan Hines yellow cake mix
-
¼ cup brown sugar
-
¼ cup white sugar
-
1 packet instant vanilla pudding mix
-
2 tsp cinnamon
-
4 eggs
-
¾ cup water
-
¾ cup oil (note: ensure it’s ¾ cup, not teaspoon)
-
½ cup white wine (any variety works!)
For the Wine Glaze:
-
1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter
-
1 cup white sugar
-
¼ cup white wine
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan or cake mold generously with butter or cooking spray.
2. Make the Cake Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cake mix, brown sugar, white sugar, pudding mix, and cinnamon. Add the eggs, water, oil, and white wine. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
3. Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
4. Prepare the Wine Glaze
While the cake bakes, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the sugar and white wine, cooking until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. Glaze the Cake
Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes. Invert onto a serving plate or wire rack. While still warm, pour the glaze over the cake, letting it soak in and drip down the sides.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Cool completely before slicing, or serve slightly warm for an indulgent experience. Pair with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra decadence.
