Ingredients
For cake:
  • 1 box yellow cake mix (get the kind that says "with pudding")
  • 3/4 cup cooking sherry
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup poppyseeds
For Icing:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • a few sprinkles water at a time (until icing becomes a "drizzling" consistency)
US Customary - Metric
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a bundt pan very well. Set aside.
  2. In large bowl, mix cake ingredients for 5 minutes (boxed yellow cake mix, cooking sherry, oil, eggs and poppyseeds). Pour batter evenly into greased/floured cake pan. Bake cake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Remove pan to wire rack to cool.
  3. While cake is cooling, mix up icing ingredients in small bowl. Add sprinkles of water until icing is thick enough to drizzle over top of finished cake. (Too thick... add couple drops water. Too thin... add more powdered sugar).
  4. Once cake has completely cooled, invert a plate over top of bundt pan, and holding both plate and bundt pan securely, flip the cake over. Once cake is on plate, carefully turn it over once more on serving platter so the right side is facing up. Decoratively drizzle the icing over top of cake. Let icing firm up, then serve and enjoy this tasty cake for dessert (with a scoop of ice cream) or as a coffeecake for breakfast!
Recipe Notes

The baking time indicated is designed for a bundt pan. If using a standard sized cake pan, your cooking time will need to be adjusted slightly.
