• Ready In: 45mins
• Ingredients: 12
• Serves: 16

ingredients

• 1 (16 1/2 ounce) box yellow cake mix
• 4 eggs
• 1⁄2 cup water
• 1⁄2 cup oil
• 1 (3 1/2 ounce) box instant vanilla pudding
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1⁄2 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons butter or 4 tablespoons margarine, melted
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 1⁄2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix together, cake mix, eggs, pudding mix, oil, water, & sour cream.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together, with a fork, the brown sugar, sugar, flour, melted butter, & optional, nuts.
4. In a greased & floured 9x13 inch cake pan, place 1/2 of cake batter. Sprinkle, on top, 1/2 of cinnamon sugar mixture. Layer the rest of the batter & then the rest of the cinnamon sugar topping. You can take a butter knife & cut through the batter, length wise & width wise, to help distribute the topping mixture. This can, also, be baked in a Bundt Pan, too, ( though it may need to bake a little bit longer).
5. Bake for 35 minutes or until top springs back to touch or toothpick comes out clean.

I made this in a bundt pan & overall was happy with the result. The cake is very moist and not as dense as expected. I was anticipating more of a cinnamon flavor and would increase the amount next time so it stands out. I would also take better care in swirling the cinnamon/ sugar mixture. Thank you for sharing the recipe. Made for Spring 2014 Pick A chef.
