Poppy Seed Cake

Ingredients

• 1 (18.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix* (Not Duncan Hines )
• 1 small box instant vanilla pudding
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup sherry
• 1/2 cup poppy seed
• 1/4 cup melted butter

Instructions

1. Put dry ingredients into a bowl.
2. Add eggs, sour cream, melted butter, sherry and oil. Mix well to combine.
3. Pour the batter into a greased 9 x 13-inch pan. Set the pan into a much larger pan that has been filled with some water.
4. Bake at 325 degrees F for 1 hour 15 minutes.

Notes

* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes. To compensate for the volume loss in a 16 ounce box, whisk 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour into the dry cake mix before proceeding with the recipe. To compensate for the volume loss in a 15.25 ounce box, add 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.
