Ingredients:
- 1 box instant vanilla flavor pudding and pie filling
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Bundt Pan: Begin by greasing a 10-inch bundt pan generously, ensuring every nook and cranny is coated. Sprinkle granulated sugar evenly onto the pan’s surface, even if you’re using a non-stick pan. This step adds a delightful sweetness and aids in releasing the cake seamlessly once baked.
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Ensure the oven rack is positioned in the center for even baking.
-
Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, instant vanilla flavor pudding and pie filling, eggs, oil, and water. Beat the mixture on medium speed for approximately 4 minutes until everything is well incorporated. If you’re using a stand mixer, you can shorten the mixing time to 2-3 minutes.
-
Incorporate Brown Sugar and Pecans: Once the batter is smooth and creamy, add in the brown sugar and chopped pecans. Mix everything together until evenly combined, ensuring the brown sugar and pecans are distributed throughout the batter, infusing it with their rich flavors.
-
Pour into Bundt Pan: Carefully pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, ensuring it’s distributed evenly. Use a spatula to level the surface if needed, providing a uniform base for baking.
-
Bake: Place the filled bundt pan into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour. To check for doneness, insert a cake tester or toothpick into the center of the cake—if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, the cake is ready.
-
Cooling Stage: Once baked, transfer the bundt pan to a wire rack and allow the cake to cool for 15 minutes. This resting period allows the cake to set slightly, making it easier to release from the pan.
-
Invert and Release: After 15 minutes, carefully invert the cake onto the wire rack, gently tapping the pan if needed to release it. Lift the pan off the cake, revealing the beautifully shaped bundt cake beneath.
-
Final Cooling: Allow the cake to cool completely on the wire rack before serving or storing. The cooling process ensures the flavors meld together and the texture sets perfectly.
-
Serve or Store: Once cooled, this delightful Brown Sugar Bundt Cake can be served immediately or stored covered at room temperature for later enjoyment. Slice it up and savor each moist and flavorful bite!
