Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 Yellow Cake Mix 15.25 ounces (reserve 2 Tablespoons for the filling)
  • 8 ounces Sour Cream
  • ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup water
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Filling:

  • 2 Tablespoons Yellow Cake Mix reserved from the cake
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Milk
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cake ingredients with a hand held or stand up mixer until combined and smooth.
  • In a separate medium mixing bowl, stir together the filling ingredients.
  • Pour approximately 2/3 of the cake mix batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  • Place the filling mixture on top of the cake mix in the pan in an even layer.
  • Carefully spoon the remaining cake mix into the pan on top of the filling mixture.
  • Bake for 45-55 until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. If the cake is starting to brown too much on the top, loosely cover it with foil until it’s baked through.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 20-30 minutes. Then carefully flip the cake onto a serving platter to remove the cake from the pan and allow it to cool completely.
  • Whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth and combined.
  • Spoon the glaze on top of the cake and allow it to drizzle down the sides of the cakes.
  • Let the glaze sit for 10-15 minutes to harden some and then the cake is ready to slice, serve and enjoy!

Notes

Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days.
I recommend flouring a bundt pan instead of just spraying it with a non-stick spray for easy removal of the cake from the pan.
