by

Ingredients

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, sour cream, oil, sugar, water, eggs, and vanilla. Beat for 2–3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the pecans, cinnamon, and brown sugar.
  4. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar nut mixture evenly over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. For the glaze, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
  7. Slice, serve, and enjoy your Mile High Sock It To Me Pound Cake!

If you’d like, I can help you tweak it for scratch (no cake mix) or make it extra fluffy — just say so!
