This Sour Cream Cake features a cinnamon-sugar swirl that creates a delightful ribbon of flavor through an incredibly moist, tender crumb. The combination of powdered sugar, butter cake mix, and rich sour cream creates the perfect texture, while the brown sugar-cinnamon filling adds warmth and depth. Despite the confusing original recipe, the results are worth deciphering—a versatile cake that works beautifully for brunch, dessert, or coffee time treats.

This recipe was/is a mess.

Called for 2 tsp vanilla and then later called for 1 tsp vanilla.

Also, had chopped nuts in two locations in the ingredients.

And it uses a 1 lb box of powdered sugar and then 1/2 cup of regular sugar.

Here is the original ingredient listing:
1 (1 lb.) box powdered sugar
2 t. vanilla
1 c. chopped nuts, if desired
1 t. vanilla
1 c. sour cream
1/2 c. sugar
1 pkg. Duncan Hines butter cake mix
3/4 c. oil
4 eggs
1 cup chopped nuts
For the filling:
4 T. brown sugar
2 t. cinnamon

Ingredients

For the cake:
1 (1 lb.) box powdered sugar
2 t. vanilla
1 c. chopped nuts, if desired
1 c. sour cream
1/2 c. sugar
1 pkg. Duncan Hines butter cake mix
3/4 c. oil
4 eggs

For the filling:
4 T. brown sugar
2 t. cinnamon

Directions

Mix all of the cake ingredients.
Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling.
Pour 1/2 of batter into pan.
Sprinkle filling over the batter you poured into the pan.
Pour the rest of the batter on top of the filling.
Bake for an hour or until done, 350°.
Good luck!

🙄 Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
🌄 Why No Pictures: Well, there ARE some pictures, here and there. But to be honest, if you need pictures showing you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking! And really, I find them annoying when all I want to do is look at the recipe! Also, we haven't made most of these recipes. We occasionally take pictures of the finished product when we remember!
💯 Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
