Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 675kcal
Ingredients
- ½ lb unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 cups white sugar
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1½ cups flour
- ¼ cup wheat germ or bran
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Butter and flour a 10 x 6 baking dish. (I used an 8 x 8)
- In a small bowl, combine chopped pecans, brown sugar and cinnamon and toss to mix.
- In a large bowl, combine melted butter, white sugar, eggs, sour cream and vanilla. Mix well.
- Stir in the flour, wheat bran, salt and baking powder and mix until just combined. Do not over mix.
- Spoon/spread half the batter into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle on half of the nut mixture. Cover with the remaining batter and sprinkle the rest of the nut mixture on top.
- Bake until golden on top and firm, about 40 - 50 minutes. Cool on a rack for at least 10 minutes. Serve warm.
Notes
- I find it takes longer to bake, about 1 hour. If it is jiggly, it's not ready. A toothpick inserted in the middle should have moist crumbs on it.
- Also, I have used less butter than the recipe calls for, like a stick and a half or even less. It turns out fine but I think it's better with two full sticks.
