Wine Cake

½ cup chopped nuts

1 box Duncan Hines butter recipe cake mix

1- 3oz pkg. Vanilla instant pudding

4 eggs

½ cup Crisco oil

½ cup water 

½ cup white wine

Glaze:

1 stick butter

1 cup sugar

½ cup water

¼ cup white wine

Spray 10-inch tube pan with Pam.  Scatter nuts on the bottom of the pan.   Combine pudding, cake mix, eggs, oil, water, and wine;  mix well.  Pour batter over nuts, Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. 

Glaze: Combine butter, sugar, and water; boil 3 minutes. Remove from heat; add wine and stir well. Poke holes in warm cake in pan. Pour ½ the glaze over the cake. Cool the cake completely, then turn out the cake onto the serving plate. Make more holes and pour on the remaining glaze.  (While this cake may not be a beautiful cake, it is absolutely delicious!  There were a couple of pieces left the next day and the flavor may have been even better then.
