Perfect. Firm on the outside, soft on the inside. Dusted with powdered sugar and filled with an intoxicating filling of pecans, butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.
The best part? It was the easiest cake to make! It was just as easy to make as opening a box of mix. Just a few more steps, but not many. And it is so moist and delicious.
I got the recipe from AllRecipes.com. That is my go-to place for all recipes. Here is the recipe for you!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray bundt pan with Pam baking spray and lightly dust with flour. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in sour cream, then beat in sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. By hand, fold in the flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Spread batter into prepared pan.
- To make the Pecan Topping: In a medium bowl, mix together brown sugar, pecans and cinnamon. Stir in melted butter until crumbly.
- Pour half the batter into the pan. Sprinkle pecan topping on top. Pour other half of batter on top of pecan mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
- Dust with powdered sugar.

Oh, this looks delicious! I love AllRecipes too. The recipes there have almost never failed me. I can’t wait to give this one a try!
This looks super yummy, Annie. Two of my favorite things, coffee and cake.
Oh my, that looks delicious AND I have all the ingredients on hand. I’ll have to try this soon!
We tried this over the weekend. Delicious and moist but we used half and half whole wheat and white flour, increasing the baking powder by 1/4 t. The cake did not hold together well. And when layering it, the batter was quite firm so it was hard to smooth around over the filling. Like I said, it was still good but I think we messed it up by trying to use whole wheat.
Just made this today. The batter was so rich and fluffy! Came out great.
