• 1 box yellow cake mix

• 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

• 1/4 cup brown sugar

• 2 tsp cinnamon

• 4 eggs

• 1 cup water

• 3/4 cup vegetable oil

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan well.

2. Mix the batter: In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, sugars, and cinnamon. Add eggs, water, oil, and wine. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until smooth.

3. Bake: Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

4. Make the glaze: While the cake is baking, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in sugar, wine, and vanilla. Bring just to a boil, then remove from heat.

5. Glaze the cake: When the cake comes out of the oven, immediately pour the glaze slowly over the top while still in the pan (it will soak in). Let sit for 15–20 minutes, then invert onto a plate.

Pro Tips:

• Let it soak. The longer the glaze sits in the cake, the better the flavor and moisture.

• Try different wines. Sweet white wines like Moscato or Riesling add a lovely fruity note, while dry white wine keeps it more balanced.

• Serve warm or cold. Delicious either way—and even better with coffee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
