Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15.25 oz white cake mix
- 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix
- 4 large eggs
- 0.75 cup vegetable oil
- 0.75 cup white wine
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup butter
- 0.25 cup white wine (for glaze)
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt cake pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, instant vanilla pudding mix, ground nutmeg, eggs, vegetable oil, and 3/4 cup of white wine.
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth and well combined.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt cake pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by combining 1/4 cup of white wine, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup of butter in a small saucepan.
Heat the glaze over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture begins to simmer. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes.
Carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate and immediately brush the warm glaze evenly over the entire surface of the cake.
Dust the cake with 1/2 cup of powdered sugar before serving, if desired, for a decorative and sweet finish.
Slice and enjoy your delicious Wine Cake, perfect on its own or paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
