Cinnamon Vanilla Bundt Cake

I always end up taking this cake to wakes and funerals...I guess that's a testament to how good it is! A cake that you will be proud to bring along...


Cinnamon Vanilla Bundt Cake
-------------------------------
1 pkg. (18 ¼ oz.) yellow cake mix
1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) instant vanilla pudding mix
¾ cup oil
¾ cup water
1 tsp. vanilla extract
½ tsp. butter flavoring (or butter extract)
4 eggs
¼ cup sugar
1 ¼ tsp. cinnamon

Icing:
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tbsp. milk
¼ tsp. butter flavoring (or butter extract)


In a large bowl, beat cake mix, pudding mix, oil, water, vanilla extract, and butter flavoring on medium speed until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat mixture until smooth; set aside. In a separate bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle half of the sugar/cinnamon mixture in a greased 12-cup bundt pan. Pour half of the cake batter in the pan; sprinkle remaining cinnamon/sugar mixture on top. Pour remaining batter on top. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour or until golden. In the meantime, in small bowl, whisk all icing ingredients together until smooth; set aside. Allow cake to cool for several minutes before removing from pan; drizzle icing over top of cake while still warm. Makes 12 servings.
