## **Ingredients for Crack Cake**

– **4 large eggs**
– **1 cup of vegetable oil**
– **1 cup of sour cream**

## **How to Make Crack Cake**
Making Crack Cake is as easy as mixing a few ingredients together, popping it in the oven, and then finishing with a delicious glaze that takes the flavor to the next level. Here’s how you do it:
### **Step 2: Mix the Cake Batter**
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, vanilla pudding mix, eggs, vegetable oil, sour cream, and water. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to mix everything together until the batter is smooth and well-combined. The sour cream adds a richness and moisture to the cake, making it soft and flavorful.
**Step 3: Bake the Cake**
Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish or bundt pan, spreading it out evenly. Bake for **35-40 minutes** (for a bundt pan) or **30-35 minutes** (for a 9×13 dish), or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
