Ingredients:

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) Premium Cake Mix (Chocolate, Yellow, or White)
  • 1 box (3.9 oz) Instant Pudding Mix
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Whole Milk
  • 1/2 cup Neutral Vegetable Oil
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Whole Milk
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Use a pastry brush to coat every crevice of a 12-cup bundt pan with melted butter and flour or a specialized baking spray with flour.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry cake mix and the dry pudding mix to break up large clumps.
  3. Add the 4 eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup oil, and 1/2 cup sour cream to the dry ingredients.
  4. Using a hand mixer on medium speed, beat the mixture for exactly 2 minutes until the batter is thick, glossy, and ribbon-like.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Tap the pan firmly on the counter three times to release trapped air bubbles.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Whisk together the powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons of milk, and vanilla extract to create the optional glaze, then drizzle over the cooled cake.
