Wine cake
One box yellow cake mix
One box French vanilla instant pudding (or vanilla)
3/4 cup cream sherry
3/4 cup cooking oil
Four eggs
One teaspoon nutmeg
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 5 small loaf pans or 2 large loaf pans.
Combine all ingredients and mix with electric beater about 4 minutes on medium speed. Pour batter into loaf pans. Bake 35 to 40 minutes for small pans, 45 to 55 minutes for large pans. Test with a toothpick -- it should come out clean when inserted in the middle of the loaves.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and cool in pan about 5 minutes before turning out onto rack. (I leave the small cakes in disposable foil pans until cool, then wrap them with colored plastic.)
