  • 1 (18.25 oz.) package super moist yellow or butter pecan cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • Swirl:
  • 1 cup praline pecans, finely chopped, optional
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon
  • Icing:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup praline pecans, chopped
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350º F and grease a standard bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk cinnamon into cake mix.
  • Beat in water, vegetable and eggs until batter is smooth and everything is incorporated.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together swirl ingredients (pecans, brown sugar and cinnamon) until combined.
  • Pour 1/2 cake batter into greased bundt pan, then sprinkle brown sugar pecan mixture evenly over batter. Spoon remaining 1/2 batter gently over the brown sugar filling until no more remains.
  • Place cake in oven and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out mostly clean.
  • While cake is baking, prepare icing: in a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, butter and milk together and bring to a boil.
  • Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until thickened, then remove from heat and stir in powdered sugar until smooth. Mix in vanilla extract, then set aside and let cool.
  • Drizzle over cooled bundt cake and sprinkle with chopped pecans. Let set and enjoy!
