Recipe from the kitchen of Bea Vail
Cake Dough:
1 box yellow cake mix
1 package instant vanilla pudding
½ cup oil
1 cup sour cream
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
Topping/Filling Mix together:
1/3 cup sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cocoa ½ cup chopped pecans
(I prefer to double this for more filling.)
Back:
Combine all cake ingredients and beat until very
thick and smooth. Pour ½ batter in greased tube
pan or 10" springform pan. Sprinkle with a littl
more than ½ of filling. Pour on rest of batter
and sprinkle with rest of topping. Bake at 350.
50-55 minutes for tube pan
60-65 minutes for springform pan
Use toothpick to test for doneness.
This is a fairly plain, type of cake that is so
delicious you find yourself having a tiny piece,
then another and another. Men seem to prefer thi
cake over most others because there is no gook
or overly sweet icing.
