Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
For the Filling
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs and mix until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix the chopped pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla.
Baking
  1. Pour half of the cake batter into the bundt pan, then layer the pecan mixture on top. Pour the remaining cake batter over the pecan filling.
  2. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate.
Glazing
  1. To make the glaze, combine powdered sugar and milk until smooth and drizzle over the cooled cake.

Notes

For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. Let the glaze set before slicing. Cake can be served with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
