Ingredients

  • ½ cup pecans chopped
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 cup butter room temperature
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 egg
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups cake flour sifted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the pecans, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Set aside.
  4. Cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after adding each.
  6. With the mixer on low speed, beat in the sour cream and vanilla.
  7. In a separate bowl, sift together the cake flour, salt, and baking powder.
  8. Start with the mixer on very slow speed and gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Increase the mixer speed as you add more of the dry ingredients and the batter becomes thicker.
  9. Put half the batter in the prepared pan.
  10. Sprinkle half the pecan-cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter.
  11. Add the remaining batter and sprinkle with the remaining topping.
  12. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a tester inserted halfway between the center and edge of pan comes out clean.
  13. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  14. Remove from pan, slice and serve.
  15. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter. Overmixing tends to make a cake more tough than tender.
  • Use room temperature butter and eggs for the smoothest batter.
  • Store covered for up to 3 days at room temperature. To freeze, wrap tightly in plastic wrap followed by a layer of aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months.
