Wine cake!

So many many years ago my family has been making this cake. It's so good and so easy! It came from this cookbook!

I'm sure there is other great recipes in here but the wine cake is the only one we ever used! My grandmother always changed up her recipes, she loved to cook and bake. She was very good at it. She could go into a restaurant and figure out what they put in their food, go home, and recreate it. So today I mixed it up a bit.

1 yellow cake mix
1 small pkg of banana pudding
3/4 cup of cream sherry
3/4 cup of vegetable oil
4 eggs
Nutmeg to your liking

Mix it all up and pour it into a loaf pan @ 350 oven for about 40 minutes.  

When it's finished let rest in pan for 5 minutes and turn it out on a cooling rack  once it cools sprinkle with powdered sugar. Yum!


The original recipe uses California sherry, vanilla pudding, and normally I make it in a tube pan.
