Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt or fluted tube pan.
  3. Mix cake mix, pudding mix, 1/4 cup drink mix, eggs, cold water, and oil in large bowl on low speed for one minute, then on medium speed for 4 minutes.
  4. Pour into prepared pan.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees F for 50-55 minutes, or until a pick inserted in center comes out clean.
  6. Cool in pan 5 minutes, then invert cake onto a serving platter with a lip to catch the glaze.
  7. If you try to remove the cake from the pan too soon, you're risking losing the top"skin" of it (not such a big deal with a frosted cake, but makes for a not-so-cute glazed cake).
  8. While cake is cooling, dissolve remaining 1/4 cup drink mix in warm water in a medium bowl.
  9. Whisk in powdered sugar until well blended (no lumps).
  10. Prick warm cake at 1-inch intervals with a skewer completely through to the bottom of the cake.
  11. Gradually spoon glaze over warm cake, allowing for absorption time between spoonfuls.
  12. Store at room temperature.
