Instructions
For the Filling:
- In a medium bowl, combine the pecans, brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
For the Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and coat the inside of a (12 -cup) bundt pan with baking spray. You can also butter and then flour the pan.
- Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium-high speed for about 1 minute or until creamy.
- Add the granulated sugar and beat on medium-high speed for about 3-4 minutes or until light and fluffy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl as needed.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until just combined.
- Add the flour mixture and sour cream alternately to the batter, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Add the vanilla extract and mix to combine.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan, sprinkle the pecan filling evenly over the batter. Spoon the remaining batter over the pecan mixture.
- Bake for about 65 to 75 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cake to rest in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
For the Icing:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth. Add additional milk or sugar to get the right consistency.
- Spoon the icing over the cooled cake.
Notes
- This recipe uses a 12-cup bundt pan. A 14-cup bundt pan can also be used.
- Don't over mix the batter. For a light and fluffy cake, the ingredients should be mixed only until just combined.
- When making the glaze, add additional milk or confectioners' sugar until the right consistency is achieved.
- Instead of a glaze, you can simply dust the cake with confectioners' sugar.
- For a nicer presentation, sprinkle toasted pecans over the glaze.
