This is a wonderfully light, soft, and tender cinnamon-flavored sponge cake. I’m completely in love with the texture and flavor!

In my opinion, it’s always good to have a super quick and easy cake recipe to make on the ready at any time. Even if you prefer scratch-made, as I do, at some point there will be a time you need a cake in a hurry. For this reason, I keep a few favorite cake recipes and ingredients on hand.

WHAT MAKES CINNAMON CRACK CAKE RECIPE SO GOOD?

It’s absolutely delicious and it’s the easiest cake in the world to make. (All my recipes are easy!)

This cake starts with a cake mix and vanilla pudding. Both ingredients contribute to the tenderness and flavor.

Now, this is where I deviate from the original recipe. The original Crack Cake has white wine in it, however, I used buttermilk instead.

All the ingredients are pantry staples, except the wine. That’s why I decided to substitute buttermilk for the wine. You can also use whole milk, water, or sour cream. Although, I recommend using water only if you don’t have milk. Water will contribute nothing to the flavor and it already has quite a lot of water in the recipe.

I topped my cake with a Butter Glaze. It’s totally optional, but I like the extra sweetness it gives the cake. This cake is not overly sweet without the glaze. I used butter, sugar, water, and vanilla in the glaze.

MORE TIPS

The first time I made this cake half of it stuck in the pan when I tried to turn it out onto a serving plate. Therefore, I highly recommend you grease your bundt pan (or tube pan) very well with solid vegetable shortening then either flour or sugar. Or, use Wilton Cake Release.

      I’m unsure why the name, I found a similar recipe in my mom’s recipe box and updated/adapted it.
