1. Make the Cake Batter
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan well.
In a bowl, mix cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water, and oil until smooth.
Pour half the batter into the pan.
2. Add the Cinnamon-Sugar Layer
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon.
Sprinkle half over the batter in the pan.
Top with remaining batter, then the rest of the brown sugar mix.
Sprinkle pecans on top.
3. Bake & Glaze
Bake 45-50 mins until a toothpick comes out clean.
While baking, make the glaze: In a saucepan, melt butter, then stir in sugar, water, and vanilla. Simmer 2-3 mins.
Poke warm cake all over with a skewer, then slowly pour glaze over it.
4. Cool & Serve
Let cool 15 mins in the pan, then invert onto a plate.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
