Irresistible Crack Cake Recipe: A Deliciously Addictive Treat


 



INSTRUCTIONS:

Preparing the Cake:

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan thoroughly to ensure the cake doesn’t stick.

  2. Combine Dry Ingredients:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, instant vanilla pudding mix, white sugar, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

  3. Add Wet Ingredients:

    • Add the eggs, water, vegetable oil, white wine, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. Pour into Pan:

    • Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it out evenly.

  5. Bake the Cake:

    • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. The top of the cake should be golden brown.

Preparing the Glaze:

  1. Make the Glaze:
    • While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the white sugar, white wine, and vanilla extract. Stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Do not let it boil.

Finishing the Cake:

  1. Glaze the Cake:

    • When the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately pour half of the glaze over the cake while it’s still in the Bundt pan. Allow the cake to absorb the glaze for about 15 minutes.

  2. Cool and Remove:

    • After the initial glaze soak, carefully invert the Bundt pan onto a serving plate to release the cake. If the cake sticks, gently run a knife around the edges to help release it.

  3. Add Remaining Glaze:

    • Pour the remaining glaze over the top of the inverted cake, ensuring it covers the entire surface and drips down the sides.

  4. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing. The cake is best enjoyed at room temperature, but it can also be served slightly warm.

Tips for Success:

  • Grease the Pan Well: Ensure your Bundt pan is thoroughly greased and floured to prevent sticking. You can use a baking spray with flour for extra assurance.
  • Wine Choice: The type of white wine you use can affect the flavor. A sweet white wine like Moscato or Riesling works well, but feel free to experiment with your favorite variety.
  • Glaze Immediately: Pouring the glaze over the hot cake helps it absorb better, adding moisture and flavor.
