# Guide to Cooking:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine toasted pecans, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
02 - Preheat oven to 163°C. Grease a 12-cup bundt pan with baking spray or butter and flour it thoroughly.
03 - Sift together flour, kosher salt, and baking soda in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
04 - Beat softened butter in a stand mixer at medium-high speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Gradually add granulated sugar and continue beating for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy, scraping down the bowl as needed.
05 - Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined.
06 - Add the sifted flour mixture and sour cream alternately to the batter, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix gently after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
07 - Pour half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Evenly sprinkle the pecan filling over the batter layer. Spoon the remaining batter over the filling.
08 - Bake for 65 to 75 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
09 - Allow the cake to rest in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack. Let it cool completely.
10 - Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth. Adjust consistency with additional milk or powdered sugar as necessary. Spoon over the cooled cake.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for proper creaming.
