Japanese Plum Wine Cake

My Japanese plum wine cake is a huge grownup crowd pleaser. (And is super-duper easy!) The rose-colored sponge only requires a dusting of powdered sugar.

Ingredients: 
  • 1 package white cake mix
  • 1 cup Japanese plum wine
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil 
  • Drops of pink food coloring
Directions: 
  1. Whip together all the ingredients In a stand mixer until smooth for about 2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl.
  2. Beat for another minute.
  3. Pour into a greased bundt pan and sprinkled with Japanese panko bread crumbs.
  4. Bake at 325 degrees for 38 to 40 minutes for dark or coated pans. Or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Ninja Note: For lighter pans, crank up the heat to 350 and bake for 35 to 36 minutes. Or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
