How To Make sock it to me cake

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour bundt pan.
  • Step 2
    In a small bowl mix together cinnamon, brown sugar, pecans and 2 tablespoons dried cake mix.
  • Step 3
    In a large mixing bowl add the remaining cake mix, oil, sour cream, water, eggs and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until combined scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl.
  • Step 4
    Pour 2/3’s of the batter into the pan. Spoon the streusel into the center using a small spoon working all the way around the cake. Gently pour the rest of the batter over the top.
  • Step 5
    Bake for 45 minutes or until set. Cool in the pan for 20 minutes before inverting.
  • Step 6
    Whisk together milk and powdered sugar. Drizzle over fully cooled cake.
  • Step 7
    NOTES We prefer a light drizzle on this cake since it is already quite sweet. If you prefer a heavier drizzle double the powdered sugar and milk.
