• Gather the cake ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 325 F.
• Generously grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt cake pan.

• Add the vanilla, nutmeg, and cake mix and beat slowly to combine. Set the mixer on high speed and beat well for 2 minutes, until the mixture is fluffy and filled with air.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared Bundt cake pan.
• Bake the cake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a cake tester or a long wooden pick comes out clean when inserted in the middle of the cake. If your oven is hotter in some spots, turn the cake 180 F after 20 minutes in the oven.

• Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake in a decorative pattern. Garnish with mint leaves and red berries, if desired.
