🍰 Easy Butter Pecan Bundt Cake Recipe
Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1 box Betty Crocker Butter Pecan Cake Mix
- 1 cup canola oil
- 1 cup water
- 4 large eggs
- 1 container (16 oz) Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy Coconut Pecan Icing (German Chocolate icing works, too!)
For the Glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- A splash of half-and-half, milk, or water (enough to make the glaze pourable)
Easy Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven. Set your oven to 350°F and thoroughly grease a standard Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Mix your cake batter. In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter pecan cake mix, canola oil, water, eggs, and the entire container of coconut pecan icing. Mix until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Pour into your Bundt pan. Spread the batter evenly into your prepared pan.
- Bake your cake. Bake at 350°F for approximately 30–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Oven temperatures and Bundt pan sizes can vary, so keep an eye on your cake!
- Let it cool. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a serving plate or cooling rack.
- Make your glaze. In a bowl, whisk together 2 cups of powdered sugar with a little half-and-half, milk, or water. Add the liquid gradually until your glaze is smooth and easy to drizzle.
- Add the finishing touches! Drizzle your glaze over the cake and sprinkle ½ cup of chopped pecans across the top.
And that’s it! You’ve got yourself a beautiful, homemade Butter Pecan Bundt Cake that’s moist, buttery, and absolutely delicious! ❤️
❤️ Faye’s Tips for the Perfect Butter Pecan Bundt Cake
Don’t forget the icing in the batter! That’s what makes this cake so special. The coconut pecan icing adds extra moisture, sweetness, and flavor.
Grease your Bundt pan really well! You don’t want that beautiful cake sticking when it’s time to turn it out.
Let your cake cool before removing it. Giving it about 15 minutes in the pan helps it release more easily.
Make your glaze your own! Add a little extra liquid for a thinner drizzle or keep it thicker for a sweeter icing.
Want even more pecan flavor? Lightly toast your chopped pecans before sprinkling them on top!
