Crack Cake
This crack cake is a yellow cake baked to perfection then topped off with a butter glaze.
A super gooey and delicious cake that will impress everyone!
Ingredients
1 box yellow cake mix
1 3.4 ounce vanilla pudding instant mix
4 eggs
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup white wine
Butter Glaze
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup white wine
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degree F. and grease a 10-inch bundt pan.
In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, eggs, and cinnamon, 1/4 cup white sugar, brown sugar, pudding powder, oil, water, and 1/2 cup white wine. Mix until well combined but don’t overmix.
Pour the mixture into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a butter knife inserted in the cake comes out clean.
The second the cake comes out of the oven, prepare the glaze. Add the butter, 1 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup white wine to a saucepan and cook over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes or until the sugar dissolves.
Using a fork, poke holes all over the cake and then pour the butter mixture all over the top.
Loosen the sides and center of the cake with a knife and then turn the cake onto a large serving plate. Enjoy warm! Serve with fresh fruit and whipped cream if you like.
Place any leftovers in an air-tight container and store them at room temperature.

A New Baby and a Diaper/Book Drop!

Lacy was born on April 21, was 5 pounds and 4 ounces, and 10 inches long. She joins sibling Xander Hughes.
Let's shower little Lacy by bringing diapers (all sizes, but she is little right now) and/or a book to the vestibule of the church by June 2. Be sure to attach a card!
Thank you for your generosity, First Baptist!
