For the cinnamon swirl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon and chopped pecans in a seperate bowl.
Pour half of the cake batter into the baking pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon mixture and swirl over the batter lightly. Run a knife through the cake mix to swirl the cinnamon - be careful not to touch the bottom of the pan with the knife. Pour the rest of the batter into the pan. Sprinkle with the rest of the cinnamon mixture over the top of the pan.
Bake for 45 minutes. Drizzle icing over the top of the baked cake while still warm.

That looks so good! I'll bet your house smelled amazing while it was baking, too!
ReplyDeleteI have a very similar recipe handed down from my grandmother. Hands down, it is one of my all-time favorite desserts! It's always a hit at a big gathering.
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious. Sounds very similar to the cinnamon roll cake. But I bet your co-workers just loved you for bringing this!
ReplyDeleteI've made this recipe more times than I can count....it's THAT good and so easy! I wish you were one of my co-workers!

ReplyDeleteThat sounds awesome! I would eat it for breakfast. Probably too dangerous to keep around the house. Maybe next time we share treats at work I will give it a try.
ReplyDeleteI made this cake yesterday to take to work. I didn't have sour cream so I substituted Greek vanilla yogurt. It was amazing! It didn't last until lunch. Great recipe.
