Mile High Sock It To Me Pound Cake recipe

by

Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar

Glaze (optional):

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 Tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a large bundt or tube pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, sour cream, oil, sugar, water, eggs, and vanilla. Beat with a mixer until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the pecans, cinnamon, and brown sugar (this will be your filling).
  4. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon-pecan mixture evenly over the batter. Top with the remaining batter.
  5. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. For the glaze: Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake.

Would you like me to make this a from-scratch version (without cake mix), or keep it as the classic cake-mix shortcut?
