Bundt cake with pecan-cinnamon filling and beer for a rich, nutty twist.
Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cups pecans
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups sour cream
  • 1/2 cup beer (any variety)
  • Powdered sugar, if desired
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 12-cup fluted tube cake pan generously with baking spray with flour or with shortening and a light dusting of flour.
  • Place pecans on a baking sheet and bake for 7 minutes until fragrant. Let them cool, then chop them and mix with the rest of the filling ingredients. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup brown sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla extract. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Slowly mix in sour cream until fully combined. With the mixer on low, alternate between adding the flour mixture and beer until fully blended.
  • Pour 1 1/2 cups of batter into the pan to make a small ring at the bottom. Sprinkle half of the filling over the batter. Add another 1 1/2 cups of batter and the rest of the filling. Cover with the remaining batter.
  • Bake in the center of the oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Let it cool completely, approximately 1 hour.
