Hey, y'all! One of my all-time favorite southern cakes is a Sock It To Me Cake. It's similar to the moist butter cake that we all know and love - but, it's elevated with a brown sugar streusel filling. It is absolutely divine!

How to Make Sock It To Me Cake

4. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well between each addition.
5. Slowly add in the flour mixture, mixing well, until everything is incorporated.
6. Add sour cream and vanilla; mix until just combined.

9. Sprinkle the brown sugar pecan mixture over the cake batter evenly.
10. Pour the remaining batter into the bundt pan.
11. Bake for 65-75 minutes, until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
12. Cool the cake in the pan for 10-15 minutes, and then turn upside down on a wire rack to remove the cake and finish cooling on the rack.
13. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and milk, and drizzle over top of the cooled cake.
14. Enjoy!

Pro Tips For Making This Recipe
