Corliss says, “This is one of our favorite recipes! We have used it for years and used it when we were on the road as traveling inn-sitters. Makes a great breakfast/brunch treat!”
Serves 20
Ingredients:
- 1 (18-ounce) package yellow cake mix
- 1 cup of vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- ¾ cup of sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 ¾ cup chopped walnuts
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
- Combine cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs and sour cream in a large bowl. Beat 2 minutes with a mixer at low speed, scraping sides of bowl frequently.
- Mix sugar, cinnamon, and walnuts in a medium bowl.
- Spread half the batter in pan. Sprinkle half the walnut mixture over top. Repeat with remaining batter and walnut mixture.
- Bake 40 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Corliss also added, “When we moved to Copeland Oaks I began to purchase the pecans to use in place of walnuts from the Union Ave. Methodist Church that residents on campus sell each year as a fundraiser. They are really good and I have learned that nuts freeze very well to have on hand.”
