Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup melted butter

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure it's fully heated before baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

    Sifting the flour helps remove lumps.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix sour cream, egg, and melted butter until smooth.

    Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing.
  4. Combine All Ingredients

    Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

    Do not overmix to keep the cake light.
  5. Add Pecans and Cinnamon

    Fold in chopped pecans and cinnamon into the batter.

    Reserve some pecans for topping.
  6. Prepare Baking Pan

    Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and pour the batter into it.

    Use parchment paper for easier removal.
  7. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    Check at 30 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Serve warm for the best flavor.
