Ingredients

• 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
• 1 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup sugar
• 0.25 cup water
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for the glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, sour cream, vegetable oil, sugar, water, eggs, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture on low speed for 1 minute, then increase to medium speed and mix for 2 more minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and chopped pecans to create the filling layer.

Step 5

Pour about half of the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan. Spread it evenly using a spatula.

Step 6

Sprinkle the cinnamon-pecan mixture evenly over the batter, creating a middle layer of filling.

Step 7

Carefully pour the remaining cake batter over the top, ensuring the filling is fully covered.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, invert the cake onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely.

Step 10

To prepare the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.

Step 11

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to run down the sides for a decorative effect.

Step 12

Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy this delicious and moist Sock It to Me Cake with family and friends!
