I prepared this cake last night and shared it with my coworkers. It was a big hit. I folded in about a 3/4 cup of chopped pecans which I dusted with a little of the cake mix (old trick to keep them from sinking in the batter while baking).

This cake has become my 3 kids favorite cake! It is especially good after it has sat in the refrigerator for several hours. Yum Yum!!!

This is very good! I made it for the FIL's b-day, as Snickerdoodles are his fave cookie. I'm thinking this cake would also be good w/a cream cheese base icing, too. Thanks for posting!
