Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.
  • Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Cream together softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add flour mixture alternating with sour cream and milk until just combined.
  • Mix together brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped pecans for the swirl.
  • Pour half of the batter into the Bundt pan, sprinkle with cinnamon swirl mixture, then top with remaining batter.
  • Gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the top layer of batter.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack.
  • Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla for the glaze until smooth.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and let it set before slicing.
