Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with flour.
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter to create the cinnamon swirl.
- Pour half the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Spoon half of the cinnamon mixture and half the chopped pecans over the batter. Swirl gently with a knife.
- Repeat with remaining batter, cinnamon mixture, and pecans. Swirl again.
- Bake for 75–85 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Warm the caramel sauce slightly and drizzle over the cooled cake. Garnish with extra pecans if desired.
Notes
- Use a high-quality nonstick bundt pan to ensure easy release.
- Let cake cool completely before adding caramel to prevent it from soaking in too much.
- Wrap well and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
