This recipe is a real crowd pleaser. It also freezes really well. If I'm not having company I make three smaller 7" Bundt pans - filled just halfway and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Then eat one and freeze the other two for another time :-)

How To Make wine (or whatever) cake

Step 1

DIRECTIONS FOR THE CAKE

Step 2

Preheat oven to 325 degrees
Step 3

In a large bowl combine all dry ingredients and whisk. In another bowl combine all wet ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into bowl with dry and mix well - I use a hand mixer

Spray a large bundt pan with Baker's Joy (or grease and flour the pan)
Step 5

Pour the cake batter in the prepared bundt pan
Step 6

Bake for 1' 10" in 325 degree oven (check at one hour)
Step 7

While the cake is baking, make the glaze
Step 8

DIRECTIONS FOR THE GLAZE
Step 9

Heat butter, sugar and water - stir until sugar is well incorporated - add the wine and cook for another minute.
Step 10

Remove cake from the oven - let it sit in the pan for 10 minutes
Step 11

Remove cake from the pan and put it on a cooling rack or a piece of parchment paper. Spoon the glaze over the top and side of the cake (I poke it with a toothpick first)
