Ingredients
  

  • 1 box, 15.25-ounce cake mix, divided (yellow, butter, or vanilla)
  • 2 rounded teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

For the Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 375 F. Generously grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt cake pan or spray it with nonstick spray and dust with flour.
  • Put 2 tablespoons of the cake mix in a small bowl; add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped pecans. Set aside.
  • Put the remaining cake mix in a mixing bowl. Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and eggs.
  • Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and well blended.
  • Spoon half of the batter into the prepared pan; smooth it then sprinkle the reserved pecan mixture evenly over the layer.
  • Top with the remaining cake batter and gently spread to cover. Tap the pan on the counter to release any trapped air.
  • Bake the cake until it is set and a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 50 to 60 minutes.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  • Carefully invert it onto a rack that is set over a sheet of foil or baking sheet. Let it cool while you make the glaze.
  • For the glaze, sift the confectioners' sugar into a medium bowl; add 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla and 2 teaspoons of milk; mix, adding more milk if too thick to drizzle.
  • Drizzle the icing over the cooled cake.
