Ingredients

• 1 cup Butter
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 4 Large eggs
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 cup Chopped pecans
• 1 cup Powdered sugar (optional, for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Milk (optional, for glaze)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional, for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease and flour a bundt pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and chopped pecans to make the filling.

Step 7

Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter.

Step 8

Layer the remaining cake batter on top of the filling and smooth the surface with a spatula.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

For the glaze (optional), whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake before serving.
