Crack Cake Recipe
Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 package (3.4 oz) vanilla pudding mix
- ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 5 large eggs, at room temperature
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup sweet white wine (Riesling recommended)
For the Glaze:
- ½ cup salted butter
- ¼ cup sweet white wine
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a bundt pan with nonstick baking spray and set aside.
- Mix Cake Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine all the cake ingredients. Beat until the mixture is fully blended and smooth.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean and the edges start to pull away from the pan.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small saucepan, heat the butter, wine, and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved, then remove from heat.
- Glaze the Cake: While the cake is still in the pan, use a bamboo skewer or toothpick to poke holes all over the bottom. Pour the glaze evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak in for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove from Pan: Once the glaze is absorbed, carefully loosen the sides of the cake with a spatula. Invert the cake onto a cake plate.
- Serve: Slice and serve the cake. Enjoy!
