Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Grease and flour a 10 inch bundt pan.

  3. In a medium bowl, combine the cake mix, instant vanilla pudding, nutmeg, vegetable oil, white wine, and eggs.

  4. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture for 5 minutes.

  5. Bake the cake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. Allow the cake to cool on a rack in the pan for 10 minutes.

  7. Remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely before slicing.

  8. Garnish the sliced cake with a dollop of whipped cream or dust it with confectioners' sugar and sliced strawberries.

  9. Variation: Instead of just greasing the pan, you can also dust it with cocoa powder or a mixture of cinnamon and sugar for a textured crust. Use a clean salt shaker to easily apply the mixture. This will give the cake a prettier appearance by eliminating the white stuff on the outside after baking.
