Ingredients

Servings

cinnamon pecan swirl

  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup toasted pecans*, finely chopped
  • 1 ½ tsp cinnamon

cake

  • 15 ounce vanilla cake mix I use Duncan Hines French Vanilla
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

icing

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 5 Tbsp milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat you roven to 350F. Lightly spray or grease a 9x13 pan.
  2. Mix together the cinnamon pecan swirl in a small bowl. Make sure to break up any lumps in your brown sugar. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the cake mix, eggs, oil, sour cream and extract until there is no dry cake mix left. Small lumps are ok.
  4. Pour half the batter into your prepared pan and gently spread out.
  5. Sprinkle half the swirl mixture over the batter.
  6. Add the rest of the batter and gently spread out as best you can. Don't worry if you don't cover all the cinnamon swirl mixture.
  7. Top with the rest of the cinnamon swirl mixture. Take a butter knife and gently swirl the layers together. Don't swirl too much ~ you want to see that pretty layer in your finished cake!
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden on top and done in the center. Cake mix based cakes tend to bake more quickly than homemade cakes, so don't over-bake!
  9. After the cake comes out of the oven, stir together the sugar and milk to make a spreadable icing. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes, then pour over the still hot cake and spread out to cover most of the top.
  10. Let the icing set up before serving.

Notes

  • *To toast pecans the easy way, lay them out on a sheet of parchment paper or paper towel in your microwave and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned.
