I know adding wine to a cake recipe sounds a little odd, but it gives it a terrific flavor! You’ll make this crack cake over and over again – it’s that wonderful!
This is the most addictive cake I have ever eaten. My husband and I can polish off the entire cake in one day (or two, if we can hide it from the kids).
It is good with coffee, chai, tea, milk, you name it. Great for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, and dessert. Or all of the above.
When I saw the name of this cake on Pinterest I was curious to read why this was “Crack” cake. I’ve seen Crack Brownies out there and even made our version of them . But cake? I was curious. And was I glad I looked! Just reading the ingredients made me want to make it. It has all kinds of deliciousness packed into it.
I think I cooked it a little too long. I just put an hour on the timer and walked away. I’d suggest checking it after about 50 minutes.
Pour over the glaze when the cake is hot.
Try it. I dare you to only eat 1 piece.
