Crack Cake

A cinnamon-spiced bundt cake from a boxed mix and vanilla pudding, soaked while hot with a buttery white-wine sugar glaze. Dangerously addictive.

Directions

6 steps

Tap a step to mark it done. The screen stays on while you cook.

  1. Heat the oven

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a bundt pan very well with butter or baking spray.

  2. Mix the batter

    Mix all the cake ingredients by hand or with a hand mixer until smooth.

  3. Bake

    Pour the batter into the pan and bake for about 1 hour, until a knife comes out clean.

  4. Make the glaze

    While the cake bakes, melt the butter with the sugar and wine in a small saucepan, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

  5. Glaze the hot cake

    As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, poke holes in it and pour the glaze over so it soaks in.

  6. Cool and unmold

    Let it cool in the pan. Loosen the edges with a flexible spatula, then flip it out onto a plate, giving the pan a few firm shakes so it releases in one piece.
