Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • FOR BATTER
  • 1 box (18 ounce) yellow cake mix
  • 1 box (3.4 ounce) vanilla pudding mix (not instant)
  • 2/3 cup oil (vegetable oil)
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 4 large eggs
  • 8 ounces sour cream
  • FOR FILLING

  • 1 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • FOR GLAZE
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 10 x 13 pan.

  • Step 2: Whisk together the batter ingredients until just barely incorporated. Spread almost half the batter in pan.

  • Step 3: In smaller bowl, combine brown sugar, pecans and cinnamon. Sprinkle over batter.

  • Step 4: Spread remaining batter on top.

  • Step 5: Bake for about 45 minutes or until golden brown. Be careful not to overbake, but you don't want to underbake either. In my oven, not using convection, it's perfect at 45 minutes.

  • Step 6: A few minutes before cake is done, whisk last three ingredients together until thin enough to spread.

  • Step 7: Immediately after moving cake from oven, poke holes in surface with a toothpick. Spread glaze over the cake.

  • Step 8: Let cool 1 hour, then serve. Tastes great made a day ahead too, just cover tightly.
