This version of the popular Sock it to Me Cake is made from scratch. It consists of a rich yellow cake baked in a tube pan with a streak of cinnamon, brown sugar and pecans in the center.
INGREDIENTS (for 1 servings):
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups white sugar
- 6 eggs
- 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the sour cream and vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture until well blended. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Pour half of batter into prepared tube pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon, brown sugar and nuts. Pour in remaining batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
