Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 3.4 ounce vanilla pudding instant mix
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cups water
  • 3/4 cups vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • Butter Glaze:
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/4 cup white wine

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 10-inch bundt pan.

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, cinnamon, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pudding powder, oil, water, and white wine. Mix until well combined, but avoid overmixing.
  2. Pour the mixture into the prepared bundt pan.
  3. Bake for approximately 45 minutes or until a butter knife inserted into the cake comes out clean.
  4. As soon as the cake is out of the oven, prepare the glaze by combining butter, sugar, and white wine in a saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes or until the sugar dissolves.
  5. Using a fork, poke holes all over the cake and pour the butter mixture on top.
  6. Loosen the sides and center of the cake with a knife and transfer it to a large serving plate.
