How to Make Pecan Dream Cake
- **Make the Pecan Filling:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup pecan halves, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Stir well and set aside.
- **Prepare the Cake Batter:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
- **Dry Ingredients:** In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- **Wet Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- **Incorporate Wet and Sour Cream:** Beat in 1 cup sour cream until well combined.
- **Add Eggs and Flavorings:** Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- **Combine Wet and Dry:** Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup of milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- **Layer the Cake:** Pour half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Evenly spread the pecan filling over the batter. Pour the remaining batter over the filling.
- **Bake:** Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- **Cool and Serve:** Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar (optional) before serving.
