Ingredients

For the cake:

1 box yellow cake mix (about 15.25 ounces)
4 large eggs
⅔ cup vegetable oil
⅓ cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 ounces sour cream

For the streusel:

½ cup finely packed brown sugar
⅔ cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the glaze:

1 cup sifted powdered sugar
2 tablespoons heavy cream
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 350º Fahrenheit.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the cake mix, eggs, oil, water, vanilla and sour cream. Mix for about 2 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, pecans and cinnamon.
Pour half of the cake batter in the prepared pan.
Sprinkle half of the sugar mixture over the batter.
Spread the remaining cake batter in the pan, then top with the remaining streusel.
Gently swirl the batter with a knife.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the cake tests done.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, cream and vanilla extract until you have a drizzling consistency. Add a tablespoon or two more cream if needed.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm cake.
Serve with ice cream if desired. It’s excellent with cinnamon or even caramel based ice cream!
