This is a perfect base recipe for Sock It To Me Cake! I prefer from scratch, and I get so many requests for this cake. I've altered this recipe somewhat to make it a little richer for my own personal tastes, but I highly recommend this! Thanks for contributing. Read More

First of all I wish that when posting these recipes the information given is correct. When baking time is off and ingredients aren't to the letter making a quality product is next to impossible. I baked this cake as instructed and the result was terrible. 90 minutes is way too long for this cake to bake and I do not know if it was a mistake but 3 and I love cinnamon tablespoons of cinnamon is a bit much. And not only that but after baking for an hour the crust was hard and the cake was dry. I wasted 20 dollars on ingredients and was less than pleased. If I try it again I'll deffinitely make modifications. Read More

This is basically a sour cream pound cake with a strip of nuts and spice in the center. The flavor of the cake is very good but it came out a bit dry. Although 90 minutes is a good rule of thumb for a traditional pound cake the oven temp for this one is a bit higher so a shorter baking time may yield a moister cake. It's definitely worth baking again. Read More

This cake was incredibly moist and delicious. In the past I've used other recipes and always felt the cake was too dry. I did make variations to the recipe. 1. I only added 2 TBSP of cinnamon I added another 1/2tsp of mexican real vanilla (delish!) I also added a little butter in the cinnamon sugar nut layer. It helped bind and saturate the layer. The biggest thing is that I only baked the cake for 65 minutes in the oven. 90 would have RUINED it. So I guess I should say that with the tips people gave and some of my own it became the best Sock It To Me can I've ever EVER had. I would highly suggest the way I baked it. Read More

This was the best from-scratch cake I have ever made. We all loved the smooth, light texture and the cinnamon/sugar/nuts filling. I did reduce the cinnamon to 1 Tbsp. instead of 3, otherwise it would have been a bit too strong. Other than that, this recipe is perfect! Read More

A very good cake. I curious if there was a typo on the cinnamon. It was a bit much for my taste. Next time I will use 3 tsp. instead of the 3 tbsp that it called for. Read More
