Ingredients
- Butter, for greasing pan
Filling:
- 1 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Glaze:
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons milk
Cake:
- 1 package golden cake mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 13 by 9-inch pan.
For the filling: In a medium bowl, stir together the pecans, brown sugar and cinnamon until nicely combined and the pecans are fully coated.
For the glaze: In a second medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice and milk until all the sugar is fully incorporated and there are no lumps. Set the glaze to the side.
For the cake: Into a large bowl, add the cake mix, sour cream, vegetable oil, sugar, 1/4 cup water, flour and eggs. Using an electric mixer, beat the ingredients until fully combined, about 4 minutes. Pour about half of the batter into the prepared pan. Spread the pecan filling on top and swirl into the batter. Pour the next half of the batter over and spread to make an even layer.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, place on a cooling rack and let cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Then invert the cake onto a plate or platter, and let cool completely.
Whisk the glaze a bit to make sure it's still smooth and then drizzle all over the cake. Let the glaze set a bit and serve!

I've made several cakes in my life and I have to be honest, This cake is like 1 of the best tasting cakes that I've made. It was so moist and the taste of the pecans with the cinnamon and brown sugar taste was just fantastic. This I most definitely will do again and again.

I HAVE MADE THIS CAKE SEVERAL TIMES AND IT IS SIMPLE AND VERY GOOD. I SEE SOME COMMENTS THAT SAY NOTHING SPECIAL. ANYTIME SOMEONE BAKES A CAKE THAT DOESN'T TASTE LIKE CORNMEAL IS SPECIAL. SO TIRED OF COMPLAINERS! THANKS FOR THE RECIPE AND I WILL CONTINUE ON MAKING IT FOR ALL THOSE WHO ENJOY IT AS I DO.....
