Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then blend in vanilla.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture alternately with sour cream and milk.
  • In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and pecans for the swirl.
  • Pour half the batter into the Bundt pan, sprinkle with the swirl mixture, then top with remaining batter.
  • Gently swirl a knife through the batter to mix the cinnamon filling.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow cooling in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  • Mix glaze ingredients until smooth and drizzle over the cooled cake.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best results. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake light and fluffy.
