Equipment

  • Bundt cake pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Cake Tester or Skewer
  • Freezer-Friendly Ziploc Bags
  • Whisk set
  • Rubber Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box yellow cake mix ensure it's a "super moist" variety
  • 1 box instant French vanilla pudding mix about 3.4 oz
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated white sugar
  • 4 large eggs at room temperature
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup water
  • ½ cup white wine such as pinot grigio or chardonnay
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 10-inch bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, instant French vanilla pudding mix, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and granulated white sugar. Mix until well combined.
  • Add the eggs, vegetable oil, water, and white wine to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth and no lumps remain, but be careful not to overmix.
  • If desired, fold in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it out evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. Melt one stick of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, stir in 1 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of white wine. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved and the glaze has slightly thickened.
  • As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, use a skewer or fork to poke holes all over the surface. Pour the warm glaze evenly over the hot cake, allowing it to soak in.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Carefully invert the cake onto a serving platter or cake stand. Gently tap the bottom of the pan to release the cake, if needed.
  • Serve the crack cake warm or at room temperature, and enjoy its irresistible gooey texture and delicious flavor.
