Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
nonstick cooking spray
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla paste
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups pecan halves
Cake Batter
1 (15.5 ounce) box butter golden cake mix (such as Duncan Hines®)
1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup milk, at room temperature
1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla paste
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 10-inch cake pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line with parchment paper and spray again. Set aside.
Place butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla paste, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add pecans and stir until pecans are coated in mixture. Pour into prepared cake pan and set aside.
For cake batter, place cake mix, eggs, pudding mix, milk, oil, sour cream, and vanilla in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat for 3 minutes. Pour over pecan mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven until a skewer inserted in center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes.
Run a butter knife around outside of cake to release from pan. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully flip cake onto a serving platter and cool completely before slicing.
