Ingredients:
Cake Ingredients:
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 package (3.4 oz.) vanilla pudding mix
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 5 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup sweet white wine (such as Riesling)
Glaze Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 1/4 cup sweet white wine
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a bundt pan with nonstick baking spray, ensuring every nook and cranny is coated. Set aside for later use.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, vanilla pudding mix, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, eggs, whole milk, vegetable oil, sour cream, and sweet white wine. Beat the mixture until all ingredients are fully combined and a smooth batter forms.
- Pour the prepared batter into the greased bundt pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the edges of the cake have gently pulled away from the pan.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the salted butter, sweet white wine, and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove the glaze from heat and set aside.
- Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly in the pan.
- While the cake is still in the pan, use a bamboo skewer or toothpick to poke holes all over the bottom of the cake.
- Slowly pour the prepared glaze over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes and soak into the cake. This process may take 15-20 minutes, ensuring that the cake absorbs all the delicious glaze.
- Once the glaze is fully absorbed, carefully loosen the edges of the cake from the pan using a spatula. Invert the cake onto a cake plate or serving platter.
- Slice and serve this Heavenly Crack Cake, delighting in its irresistible flavor and decadent texture. Prepare to be transported to dessert heaven with every blissful bite!
