Smith Lake Cake

My sweet friend always makes this devil cake at her lovely lake house on Smith Lake in Alabama. This devil cake is so good it will beckon you in the middle of the night. NO one can resist it, no one. My children will fight each other to the death over the last piece.

Ingredients

Method

Turn cooking mode on

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Beat the cake mix, pudding mix, water, oil, brown sugar, cinnamon, eggs, ¼ cup of the granulated sugar, and ½ cup of the wine with an electric mixer at medium speed until just blended, about 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium-high, and beat 2 minutes.

Step 3

Pour the batter into a greased and floured 10-cup Bundt pan. Bake in the preheated oven until a long wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.

Step 4

While the cake is baking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium. Stir in the remaining 1 cup granulated sugar and ¼ cup wine.

Step 5

Pour the butter mixture over the hot cake in the pan, and cool completely, about 1 hour. Turn the cake out onto a serving plate.

I bought a yellow cake mix, that was on the list. But you did say “butter”. I’m going to assume it’s going to be just as tasty. 😜 just thought I might point out the ingredient list so no one else makes an “inferior” cake 😋
