Sock-It-To-Me Cake
This is Meme’s recipe.
Ingredients
Cake:
1 box Butter Cake Mix
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 large eggs
1 cup chopped pecans
Glaze:
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
3 tbsp. milk (or water)
Optional: 1/2 tsp vanilla or 1/2 tsp of almond extract – either one will enhance the glaze’s flavor.
Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
Grease and flour a Bundt (or tube) pan.
Combine all cake ingredients in a large bowl. Beat at medium speed 4 minutes. Pour into prepared pan.
Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick that’s stuck in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan 25 minutes. Invert cake over cake plate and cool completely.
Glaze: Mix together powdered sugar and milk and optional flavoring. Yield is 1 cup of glaze. For thicker glaze, don’t use as much milk or add more sugar (this could happen when the humidity is high). And for thinner glaze, add more milk. Remember you want it to stay on the cake not drip down into the cake dish!
