Description

Mom’s Best Cake is a simple, moist, and buttery Bundt cake made with yellow cake mix and brown sugar for a soft texture and a lightly crisp sugar topping


Ingredients

Scale
For the Cake:
  • 1 box Duncan Hines yellow cake mix
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Topping:
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  • Add the Topping: In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle half into the greased Bundt pan.
