Equipment

  • 1 10 Inch Bundt Pan
  • 3 Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients

Cake

  • 1 box (15.25 oounce) yellow cake mix
  • 3 Tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ⅓ cup canola oil
  • ¼ cup whole milk

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 Tablespoons whole milk

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Then spray a 10 inch bundt pan with baking grease and dust it with flour. Tap out any extra flour and set the pan aside.
  • Scoop two tablespoons of the cake mix into a medium sized bowl. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon and chopped pecans to the bowl and stir. Set aside for now.
    1 box (15.25 oounce) yellow cake mix, 3 Tablespoons dark brown sugar, 1 cup chopped pecans, 1 Tablespoon cinnamon
  • Pour the rest of the cake mix into a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs, sour cream, oil and ¼ cup of milk to the bowl. Whisk the ingredients together to form a thick, smooth batter.
    4 eggs, 1 cup sour cream, ⅓ cup canola oil, ¼ cup whole milk
  • Pour half of the batter into the greased, floured bundt pan. Then, sprinkle the pecan mix into the pan, evenly over the batter.
  • Pour the remaining batter into the bundt pan, covering the pecan layer.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven for about 45 minutes. The cake will be golden brown and spring back to the touch. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake will come out cleanly, with no sticky batter.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for about 30 minutes then flip the cake out of the pan to cool completely on a cooling rack or serving plate.
  • Once the cake has cooled, whisk the powdered sugar, vanilla and whole milk together for the glaze. Pour it over the top of the cake then slice and enjoy!

Notes

Sprinkle some pecans on top as an added garnish, if you'd like.
