Equipment

Mixing Bowl
9x13-inch Baking Pan

Ingredients

15.25 ounces yellow cake mix
⅔ cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
8 ounces sour cream
1 cup brown sugar
⅓ cup chopped pecans
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Frosting

1 cup powdered sugar
1 Tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13" baking pan with non-stick cooking spray
In a large bowl, mix together cake mix (don't follow the directions on the package, just use the dry mix), oil, eggs, and sour cream and beat with an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes on medium speed.
Spread half of the batter into prepared pan.
In a smaller bowl, add the brown sugar, pecans, and cinnamon; stir to mix. Sprinkle mixture evenly over the batter, then carefully spread the remaining batter over the pecan mixture (I dropped it by spoonfuls all over the pan and then carefully spread it with a spatula).
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the cake turns golden brown.
After the cake is finished, mix together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl. Using a toothpick, poke the surface of the cake many times, then spread the glaze all over the warm cake.
Let cool and serve.
