Sour Cream Cake

"Very moist sour cream cake livened up with cinnamon and pecans ... this freezes well so bake two and freeze one! It won't last long, I guarantee. Compares very favorably with the sour cream cakes sold in local grocery stores. Not a diet food, but Oh! so worth every calorie!"

ingredients

  • 1 (18 ounce) box vanilla cake mix (or use your favorite flavor)
  • 1 (4 ounce) box vanilla pudding mix (I used the cooked type by mistake instead of instant, but it turned out great!)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 14 cup vegetable oil
  • 12 cup real butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons dry buttermilk (optional, but you can find it in the baking section)
  • 1 cup sour cream (I cheat and use extra)
  • 12 cup cinnamon sugar (I use extra)
  • 1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped (leave them out if you want to)

directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix all the ingredients together (the batter will be rather thick).
  • Put some cinnamon sugar and nuts in the bottom of a bundt pan, if you like.
  • Place one-third to one-half of batter on top of the cinnamon sugar.
  • Add another layer of cinnamon sugar & nuts and cover it up with spoonfuls of the batter. When you are finished, you can swirl the batter and cinnamon/sugar/nuts around if you like.
  • Bake for one hour.
  • Cool for 10 minutes and turn it upside down on a plate.
  • Stand back as your family DEVOURS this cake.

  1. Although I like the idea (from the previous reviewer) of using orange zest, I decided to make the recipe as directed, so I'd have a reference point for the taste! Well, let me tell you, THIS CAKE IS GREAT, but it's definitely the kind of dessert you should make for company or at least for a larger group than just 2! Thanks for sharing!

  2. Absolutely wonderful, rich, moist, totally NOT diet food cake! Made for a family picnic---in-laws went nuts over it---brought home an empty plate. Followed the recipe to the letter. Next time going to try some orange zest and some orange extract--can't wait!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I love to cook for myself, my neighbors and family--even my dogs and cats. I like quick recipes for weekdays, and save the more complicated things for weekends. I also love to bake, although I don't have much of a sweet tooth. I have chickens in my backyard, so I'm always looking for ways to use up all those organic blue and brown eggs. I'm always up for anything hot and spicy and I love nearly all cuisines, especially Vietnamese and Italian. Houston is known for being&nbsp;overrun with&nbsp;excellent restaurants. Lucky me!</p> <p>These days, I'm mostly eating raw vegan.&nbsp;</p>
