Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1/2 cup butter

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • 2 cups flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • Topping
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9 inch square pan (or Bundt pan if you are doubling the recipe.)
  • Cream the butter and sugar together in the bowl of a mixer. Add eggs one at a time, on medium speed, incorporating each one thoroughly before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla.
  • Sift the dry ingredients together into a separate bowl.
  • To the sugar/butter mixture, add the dry ingredients alternately with the sour cream, stopping to scrape the batter from the sides a few times.
  • For the topping:
  • In a separate bowl, combine topping ingredients.
  • Pour HALF the batter into the prepared pan and layer HALF of the topping ingredients over the batter in pan. Repeat with the remaining batter and topping.
  • Bake at 325’ for 45-55 minutes and serve warm.

Notes

  • Remember to use a regular-sized Bundt pan for this recipe if you double all the ingredients.
  • This cake is fabulous the next day – just place the cake on a cookie sheet, cover with tinfoil, and warm it up in a 350° oven for 10-15 minutes.
