Ingredients
For The Cake:
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1 package blackberry-flavored gelatin such as Jell-O
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup blackberry wine
- ½ cup chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts
For The Glaze:
- 1½ cups powdered confectioners’ sugar
- ½ cup blackberry wine
- ½ cup 1 stick butter
Instructions
Get The Oven And Pan Ready
- Start by heating your oven to 325°F (163°C). While that’s warming up, grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan. You can also use a baking spray that has flour in it for easier cleanup.
Make The Batter
- Grab a big mixing bowl and add the following: One box of white cake mix, One package of blackberry-flavoured gelatin, Four eggs, ½ cup of vegetable oil, ¾ cup of blackberry wine Mix everything with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2–3 minutes, until the batter is nice and smooth. Fold in some chopped nuts if you’d like a little crunch.
Time To Bake
- Pour the batter into your prepared Bundt pan. Place it in the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean.
Let It Cool
- Once it’s out of the oven, let the cake rest in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack or serving plate and let it cool completely.
Make The Glaze
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt a bit of butter and stir in a splash of blackberry wine. Once that’s warm (but not boiling), whisk in powdered sugar until it’s smooth. Let it simmer gently for 2–3 minutes while stirring constantly. Don’t let it burn.
Add The Glaze
- While the cake is still slightly warm, slowly pour the glaze over the top so it soaks in nicely. Let the glaze set for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
