A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

ingredients
1 package (18.25 ounce size) yellow cake mix
1 package (3.4 ounce size) instant vanilla pudding mix
3/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup water
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans work well)
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/3 cup sugar
directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heavily grease a Bundt pan (with butter or shortening - not non-stick cooking spray) and set it aside.
Combine the cake mix, pudding mix, oil, water, eggs, and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Beat on medium-high speed with an electric mixer for 4-5 minutes or until completely blended.
Sprinkle the nuts in the bottom of the prepared pan. They should adhere to the greased pan.
Combine the cinnamon and sugar and mix well.
Pour 1/3 of the cake batter into the Bundt pan. Sprinkle with half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Evenly pour another 1/3 of the cake batter over the cinnamon layer. Sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture. Pour the remaining cake batter over the top.
Place the pan in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour or until the cake tests done.
Remove the cinnamon Bundt cake from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Invert the pan onto a platter or large plate and remove the cake. Let it cool completely before slicing or storing. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
recipe tips
Do not overmix the batter. Mix just until the ingredients are combined or the cake may turn out dense.
For an extra cinnamon flavor, add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter in addition to the swirl layer.
To add more nutty flavor, toast the nuts before adding them to the pan.
Try different flavors of instant pudding mix for different cake variations.

The cake stuck to my pan even though I greased it. Next time I will put the nuts mixed with the sugar and cinnamon.
Sometimes if you even miss a few small spots when greasing the pan, your cake can stick. Recipes with higher sugar content (like this one) can be prone to sticking. Sometimes I'll grease a pan the traditional way but then give it a quick spritz with nonstick baking spray (not regular non-stick spray) to make sure everything is coated.

Simply delicious and very easy to make!! Love the texture. And an added bonus is it's a one bowl recipe, except for the 2 ingredient cinnamon sugar mixture. Have the feeling I'll be making this cake a lot! Next one I'm gonna try with a thin frosting drizzle.
Is the sugar white or brown?
The recipe calls for white sugar but you could use brown if you wish.

Since there were no measurements for the cinnamon sugar mix I just went by taste and sprinkled a little cinnamon with maybe twice as much sugar over each layer. It seemed to work ok. Would like real measurements though to make sur eI'm getting the full flavor.
The measurements for the cinnamon-sugar mixture are included in the ingredient list
