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.
