This is a family favorite. It is a moist, delicious cake with just a hint of sherry. This cake does not need frosting. Try out the varied combinations too.

Aunt Maria’s Pudding Cake

Ingredients

  • 1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
    1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
    3/4 cup vegetable oil
    3/4 cup cream sherry
    4 eggs
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/2 teaspoon almond extract
    1 tablespoon poppy seeds

Instructions

    1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour one 10 inch tube or bundt pan.

    2 Mix together the yellow cake mix, vanilla pudding, vegetable oil, cream sherry, eggs, vanilla extract, almond extract, and poppy seeds, beat at medium speed with an electric mixer for approximately 7 minutes. Pour batter into prepared pan.

    3 Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 to 50 minutes.

    4 Variations: Poppy seeds may not work with these variations: 1) chocolate cake mix with chocolate pudding, 2) white cake mix with pistachio pudding and a dash of green food coloring (nice for St. Patrick’s Day or Christmas), 3) yellow cake mix with lemon pudding, and 4) 3/4 cup oil and 3/4 cup beer (not everyone’s first choice!)
