I have heard of the "CRACK CAKE" for some time now.....
several people have published the recipe for this cake on social media,
so even though I am not very fond of the name, I decided to try it
and see for myself if it was as good as everyone says it is...
HOWEVER......I did a few things differently and honey,
it is a winning recipe!
These are the ingredients I used listed below....
rather than a yellow cake mix, I used a
BUTTER YELLOW and rather than
vanilla instant pudding, I added Pumpkin Spice pudding.....
you're going to love it!!!!
It's delicate, it's a taste of fall and....
it's going to be served often this season at Estelle's!

DeleteSounds delicious. But what could you use instead of wine?
ReplyDeleteI suppose you could substitute bourbon or rum Claire...I can't comment on a substitution since I followed the directions for the cake. You could probably use other flavors of cake mix and pudding mix also.
DeleteMaybe some apple cider?
DeleteUse a moist chocolate cake, Kahlua instead of wine and coffee instead of water. DELISH! Chocolate Kahlua Crack Cake.
DeleteI was planning on baking a cake to take to the nursing home tomorrow! No pumpkin spice pudding on hand so I’ll have to make do on that but I will certainly have to make another one later with it! And I have a partial bottle of white wine o I’m off to the kitchen right now!
