Its just six ingredients and so fast to assemble.

One of my siblings and Is favorite recipes is wine cake.

It just happens to require just six ingredients and can be assembled in 10 minutes flat.

While this doesnt sound like a particularly child-friendly dessert, dont worrythe wine cooks off!

Essentially, its a doctoredyellow cake mix, thanks to instant vanilla pudding and dessert wine.

Dusted with a shower of powdered sugar in lieu of frosting, this cake isnt overly sweet.

The generous amount of nutmeg lends the yellow cake a flavor reminiscent of a doughnut.

Its also equally easy to eat a hand-held slice as it is to chow down with a fork.

My childhood routine was to carefully carve out the golden center before eating the caramelized crust.

Grease and flour a 10- to 12-cup bundt pan.

In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together until a smooth batter forms.

Add the batter to the prepared pan and smooth out the top.

Cool for about 10 minutes before turning the cake out onto a cooling rack and cooling completely.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

The cake will keep at room temperature in an airtight container for up to three days.
