Description

This classic Sock It To Me Cake 2 is a tender, sour cream-based Bundt cake featuring a hidden layer of crunchy pecans and warm cinnamon. It is a nostalgic Southern favorite that is simple to prepare yet elegant enough for any special occasion.

Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup confectioners sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and thoroughly grease and flour a Bundt pan or tube pan to ensure easy release.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of the dry yellow cake mix with the dark brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped pecans to create the filling.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining cake mix with the sour cream, vegetable oil, water, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
  4. Using an electric mixer, beat the batter on low speed for one minute to combine, then increase to medium speed and beat for two additional minutes until the mixture is smooth.
  5. Pour exactly half of the batter into the prepared pan, sprinkle the pecan-cinnamon streusel mixture evenly over the top, then cover with the remaining batter.
  6. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes until the cake is golden brown and a tester comes out clean, then let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack.
  7. Once the cake is completely cool, whisk together the confectioners sugar and milk and drizzle the glaze over the top of the cake.

Notes

For the smoothest batter, bring your eggs and sour cream to room temperature about 30 minutes before you begin baking. This ensures the fats emulsify properly, resulting in a silkier crumb and a more consistent rise. If you want a thicker glaze, start with less milk and add it drop by drop until you reach your desired consistency.
