How to Make Cake Mix Sock it to me Cake Preheat the oven to 350 F. Combine white or yellow cake mix, sugar, melted butter, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla to make your cake batter for the top and bottom. Spoon half into the bundt pan sprayed with non stick spray or greased with flour coating the inside so it slides out easily. In another small bowl mix together the streusel filling made with sugar, cinnamon and chopped pecans and sprinkle them on top of the batter reserve 34 tablespoons of the nut mixture. Spoon the remaining batter on top and smooth it out. Bake for 5055 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean with moist crumbs attached. Then let the cake cool in the pan, on a cooling rack, for about 20 minutes. Then carefully flip the pan over with a wire rack or plate on top and slide out of pan to continue to cool to room temperature. In a large glass, whisk together all the ingredients for the glaze.
