How to Make Brown Sugar Bundt Cake

  1. Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan. Sprinkle the bottom and sides with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, tapping out any excess.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix, 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 cup water. Beat on medium speed for 4 minutes, until well combined.
  4. Stir in 1 cup packed light brown sugar and 1 cup pecan halves (plus another 1/3 cup if desired). Mix until just combined.
  5. Pour batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (Ovens vary, so start checking at 50 minutes).
  6. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
  7. Invert the cake onto a wire rack and let it cool completely.
  8. Once cooled, store covered at room temperature.
