Sock it to me cake is a butter cake has a streusel nut filling inside of the cake. My great-grandmother used to make sock it to me cake all of the time. Sock it to me cake is still one of my favorite cakes to make. You use a boxed cake mix, and add sour cream, additional eggs, cinnamon, chopped pecans to make this delightful cake. I often make sock it to me cake without any icing.
What is a Sock it to Me Cake?
The Sock it to Me cake has been around since the 1970s. Laugh-In, the television show was what everyone watched on TV, so this cake gets its name from the show. If you have never had one of these cakes you will know they are a buttery bundt cake that has a cinnamon and pecan streusel. This cake was based on a Duncan Hines recipe that has been on the box since the 1970’s.
