Cook Time: 50–60 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Servings: 12 slices

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan to prevent sticking.

2. Make the Batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine:

Yellow cake mix
Brown sugar
White sugar
Vanilla pudding mix
Cinnamon

Add the eggs, water, and oil. Beat on medium speed until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan.

4. Bake

Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

5. Cool

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.

6. Optional Glaze

For an extra-indulgent finish, combine melted butter, sugar, and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil while stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Pour the warm glaze evenly over the cake.

7. Serve

Slice, serve, and watch it disappear — quickly!
