This has been in my mom's recipe box for as long as I can remember. The cream sherry is what makes this cake so special - it can be made without, but it just would not taste the same to me. We usually baked it just as a bundt cake with confectioners sifted on top, but I recently baked them as cupcakes, and they domed beautifully!

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg yellow cake mix 1 pkg vanilla pudding 4 eggs (room temp) 1 cup sour cream 1/2 cup oil 1/2 cup Cream Sherry 1/2 cup dry poppy seed

Instructions

Combine all ingredients and mix at medium speed for 5 min. Bake at 350 until done.

I've never heard of Cream Sherry. Any particular brand that you use? Do you purchase it at the liquor store? Thanks.

Is the vanilla pudding the instant kind? Thanks!

Re: the Cream Sherry - it is a sweet, dessert wine which would be found in the liqour aisle. The brand I have on hand now is Sheffield Cellars by Ernest & Julio Gallo, but growing up my mom always used Harvey Bristols Cream Sherry. Re: the pudding - use the instant kind (small box), but only if the cake mix does not already contain pudding in it. If the cake mix does contain pudding, or is a Moist variety, then do not use the pudding mix. Sorry - meant to clarify that in the original post.
