- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 5 large eggs room temperature

How to Make Crack Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a bundt pan with nonstick baking spray and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat together all of the cake ingredients.
- Beat mixture until fully combined.
- Pour batter into prepared bundt pan.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean and the edges of the cake have pulled away from the pan.
- In a small saucepan, heat butter wine and sugar for the glaze. Heat and stir until sugar is dissolved, then remove from heat.
- Use a bamboo skewer or toothpick to poke holes all over the cake bottom (still in the pan).
- Pour glaze over the cake and allow it to soak up the glaze. This takes 15-20 minutes.
- Once the glaze is absorbed into the cake, loosen the sides of the pan with a spatula as much as possible. Turn the cake out of the pan onto a cake plate.
- Cut and serve cake.
