Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a bundt pan with nonstick baking spray and set it aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat together all of the cake ingredients. Beat mixture until fully combined.
Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, and the edges of the cake have pulled away from the pan.
In a small saucepan, heat butter, wine and sugar for the glaze. Heat and stir until sugar is dissolved, then remove from heat.
Use a bamboo skewer or toothpick to poke holes all over the cake bottom (still in the pan).
Pour glaze over the cake and allow it to soak up the glaze. This takes 15 to 20 minutes.
Once the glaze is absorbed into the cake, loosen the sides of the pan with a spatula as much as possible. Turn the cake out of the pan onto a cake plate.
Cut and serve the cake.

Instead of a regular cooking spray, use baking spray (like Wilton) that has flour in the spray to help keep the cake from sticking.
Adding sour cream to the cake batter makes it even more moist and dense. The pudding also adds these same delicious qualities.
When you’re pouring the mixture into the holes, tap the pan on the counter a few times to get rid of any air bubbles and make sure the sauce fills the holes completely.
