A moist, buttery Bundt cake made with yellow cake mix, pudding mix, and a sweet cinnamon-sugar white wine glaze that soaks into every bite. Easy, semi-homemade, and addictively delicious.

Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 box instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup white wine (Moscato or Riesling recommended)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup white sugar (for glaze)
  • 1/4 cup white wine (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a Bundt pan generously with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mix cake mix, pudding mix, cinnamon, eggs, white sugar, brown sugar, water, oil, and wine until fully combined.
  3. Pour batter into prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top.
  4. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. While the cake bakes, prepare the glaze: melt butter in a saucepan, add sugar and wine, and simmer until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.
  6. Let cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. While still warm, slowly pour glaze over cake, allowing it to soak in.
  7. After 10–15 more minutes, invert cake onto a serving plate. Spoon any remaining glaze over the top.

Notes

  • Substitute white wine with apple juice, grape juice, or non-alcoholic wine for a kid-friendly version.
  • For variety, use spice cake mix or different pudding flavors like cheesecake or butterscotch.
  • Sprinkle chopped pecans into the pan before adding batter for a nutty twist.
  • Can be baked in a tube pan or 9×13-inch dish if no Bundt pan is available.
  • Cake stays moist for days and tastes even better the next day.
