Ingredients Needed:

For The Cake:

  • 1 Box Yellow Cake Mix
  • 1 (3.4 Oz) Vanilla Pudding Instant Mix
  • 4 Eggs
  • 2 Tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 3/4 Cup Water
  • 3/4 Cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1/2 Cup White Wine

For The Butter Glaze:

  • 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 Cup White Wine

How To Make Crack Cake:

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-inch bundt pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the cake batter: In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, vanilla pudding mix, eggs, cinnamon, granulated sugar, brown sugar, water, vegetable oil, and white wine. Mix until everything is well combined, but be careful not to overmix the batter.
  3. Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a butter knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Prepare the butter glaze: As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, prepare the glaze. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the granulated sugar and white wine, cooking for 4-5 minutes until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  5. Glaze the cake: Using a fork, poke holes all over the warm cake. Pour the butter glaze evenly over the cake so it soaks into the holes.
  6. Serve the cake: Loosen the cake from the sides and center of the bundt pan with a knife. Turn it onto a large serving plate and enjoy warm!

Recipe Tips

  • Use room temperature ingredients: Make sure the eggs and other ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter and better texture.
  • Don’t overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake dense. Mix just until everything is combined and smooth.
  • Check for doneness: Insert a butter knife into the center of the cake to see if it comes out clean. This ensures the cake is fully baked.
  • Poke holes while the cake is warm: Poking the holes right after the cake comes out of the oven allows the glaze to soak in better.
  • Let the cake sit in the glaze: Allow the cake to rest for a few minutes after pouring the glaze to fully absorb the flavors.

How To Store Leftovers

Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
