WORLD'S BEST SOCK-IT-TO-ME CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 2. Butter and flour a large bundt or tube pan. Please make sure that the pan is buttered and floured very, very well.
• 3. For cake, in a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 1/2 sticks butter and sugar for about 3-5 minutes.
• 4. Add one egg at a time. Lightly beat in each egg before adding next.
• 5. Add 1 1/2 tbsp of vanilla extract and oil; mix.
• 6. Add 1 1/2 cup of flour and pinch of salt; beat well.
• 7. Beat in 1/2 cup of sour cream; mix well.
• 8. Next, add remaining flour; beat well.
• 9. Add, the remaining 1/2 cup of sour cream; beat well.
• 10. Pour half of the cake batter into the pan; set aside.
• 11. For filling, in a medium bowl add walnuts, brown sugar, 1/2 stick of butter, 2 Tbsp cake batter, and cinnamon.
• 12. Mix until well incorporated, but not creamed. It should clump together.
• 13. Sprinkle all of the filling around the cake batter that is in the pan.
• 14. Pour remaining cake batter on top of the filling.
• 15. Tap the pan on the counter to remove air bubbles and bake for 1 hour 20 mins.
• 16. Remove cake from pan and allow to slightly cool.
• 17. For the glaze, while the cake is cooling, in a medium size bowl, add powdered sugar, tsp of vanilla, and milk.
• 18. Mix very well.
• 19. Pour over warm cake.
• 20. For those who are not too fond of baking but still want to try this cake, I recommend Duncan Hines Golden Butter Recipe cake mix. Use number of eggs according to box instructions. Add half a cup of sour cream and follow the rest of my directions exactly.
