Ingredients

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. (Can also use a baking spray with flour built in)

  2. In small bowl, add brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.

  3. In large mixing bowl, add cake mix, oil, eggs and sour cream. Beat on low for 2 minutes. Pour batter into prepared baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle brown sugar mixture over batter.
  5. Using a butter knife, lightly swirl brown sugar mixture into batter to avoid it settling into the bottom during baking.
  6. Bake 40 to 50 minutes uncovered until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. In medium bowl, whisk milk, powdered sugar and vanilla. Drizzle over cake.
  8. Cool on wire rack for at least 15 minutes before cutting.

  9. Best served warm.
