Ingredients

Cake

Icing

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3-4 tablespoons sweet white wine from Cellars Wine Club
  • Fresh berries and mint leaves for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the white wine, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the icing, combine the powdered sugar and sweet white wine in a bowl, adjusting the consistency with more wine or sugar as needed. The icing should be pourable but thick.
  • Once the cake is cool, drizzle the icing over the cake.
  • If desired, garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves before serving.
