Paula Deen's Spicy Cinnamon Cake

Recipe #203240 | 1¼ hours | 7 min prep | SERVES 15 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Redneck Epicurean

This is a very simple, but oh so delightful spice cake. I saw Paula make this on her show and since I love Love LOVE cinnamon, had to make one. I did already have everything on-hand because I use spice cake mixes for my gingerbread men. I always stock up at the holidays when they're on sale. Next time you need a coffee cake, serve this one!

    So moist so good! I put some whole pecans in the bottom of the pan before I put the batter in. It looked nice when I took it out of the pan. In step 5 the sugar mixture did not stick to the top/bottom of the cake very well when turned out. Next time I may try raw sugar and put it in the bottom of the pan before the batter goes in. My cake was done in 50 minutes. Made for Cake a Thon in Memory of Chef I Am 2007

    I made this as a treat last night for my children because they cleaned the house! What a fabulous, easy recipe this was. It went together easily and quickly. I used Baking Spice - copy cat Pampered chef Cinnamon Plus Pampered Chef Baking Spice instead of the cinnamon called for and it was wonderful....it intensified the spice flavor of the whole cake. I barely let the cake cool enough before taking the first slice. Pure heaven. This morning, I noticed 3/4 of the cake was gone. Definitely a winner! I will be making this again and remembering Amy with each and every bite.

    This is a great cake. I especially love the sweet taste of the cinnamon, sugar and pecans you put on top, or actually bottom of the cake. Will make again. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the wonderful smell this cake has when it's baking, WOW it filled the house.

    loved the fact that this cake is so easy to throw together and does not even remotely taste that it is so easy. does not taste like it started out with a cake mix. the sour cream and pudding mix make it really rich and luscious and the pecans and cinnamon really add an intense taste and texture to the cake. i did use cannola oil because that is what i had on hand. wish i could thank amy for posting this great recipe.
