Ingredients – Here’s What You’ll Need

Steps t0 Make Easy Pecan Praline Bundt Cake

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spray a 12-cup bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray with flour and set aside. Place the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and table salt in a medium-sized bowl. Use a whisk to combine. Set the bowl aside until ready to use.

2. Place the room-temperature unsalted butter and cream cheese in a large bowl. Use an electric hand mixer to beat together for about two minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Then, add dark brown sugar and continue beating with the mixer for about five minutes until light and fluffy.

3. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Then, add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

4. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the vanilla extract. Beat with the mixer for about a minute until combined.

5. Add the flour mixture, about a cup at a time, alternating with the sour cream, beating well after each addition.

6. Add the sour cream about ⅓ cup at a time, alternating with the flour mixture and ending with the sour cream, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat for an additional minute.

7. Add the toasted pecan pieces and use a large silicone spatula to fold them into the cake batter.

8. Use a large ice cream scoop to transfer the batter to the prepared bundt pan.

9. Then, use a small silicone spatula to smooth it into an even layer. Bake in a 325°F oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

10. Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cake to cool on a wire cooling rack for about 20 minutes.

11. To un-mold, place a wire cooling rack on top of the cake and invert both together. Allow the cake to cool completely to room temperature.

Steps to Make the Praline Icing

1. Place dark brown sugar, unsalted butter, and whole milk in a small saucepan. Stir constantly and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

2. Continue stirring the mixture for another minute after it comes to a boil.

3. Remove the pan from the heat and add vanilla extract and sifted powdered sugar.

4. Use a whisk to combine until the icing is smooth.

5. Place the wire cooling rack with the cake still on top in a parchment-lined half-sheet pan. Then, quickly spoon the praline icing over the top of the cooled cake, allowing it to run down the sides. The icing will begin to set very quickly.

6. Immediately place Pecan Praline Morsels onto the top of the cake for a garnish.

Recipe Tips and Tricks

• To toast the pecan pieces, place them on a large rimmed baking sheet and toast in a 350°F oven for about 8 minutes.

• Sift the powdered sugar after measuring it. This will help ensure there are no lumps in the icing.

• When icing the cake, you should place the wire cooling rack with the cake on top in a parchment-lined half-sheet pan to catch any praline icing that drips off the cake. The parchment in the bottom will make the clean-up easier.
