Use honey or cinnamon graham crackers instead of regular ones in this easy bundt cake. Using baking spray with flour to grease the pan for best results.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 50 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1-1/4 cup powdered sugar

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Very generously grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan (prepare even nonstick finishes this way too) OR wait until the batter is prepared, then generously spray the pan with a nonstick baking spray with flour.

In large mixing bowl, place all ingredients except for nuts, 3 Tbsp. brown sugar, 2 Tbsp. milk and butter, and powdered sugar. Mix until combined, then beat 2 minutes on medium speed. Stir in chopped pecans and pour into bundt pan.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 45-50 minutes until cake is dark golden brown and set. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto serving plate; cool completely.

When cake is cool, combine remaining ingredients except powdered sugar in small saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat and add powdered sugar; blend with wire whisk until smooth. Drizzle frosting over cake.

For cream cheese frosting, combine 3 ounces of softened cream cheese with 2 tablespoons butter and 1-1/2 cups powdered sugar. Beat well and add 1-2 tablespoons of cream until frosting is soft and spoonable. Spoon over cooled cake.
