Ingredients

  • FILLING
  • 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoon lemon zest
  • CAKE
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 8 ounces sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat the oven to 325°F. Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan. This is a large cake. For best results, use the 12-cup Bundt pan.

2. Stir together all of the filling ingredients; set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, mix sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla. Mix in all of the remaining ingredients. Beat for 3 minutes on medium speed.

4. Spoon half of the batter into the prepared pan. Spoon the filling over the center of the batter, not touching the sides of the pan. Spoon the remaining filling over the filling.

5. Bake for 70 to 85 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Remove from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack. If desired, drizzle with Orange Glaze.
