  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the sour cream to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Sprinkle the pecan mixture evenly over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
