Can this be made in a 9x13 instead of a tube pan?

I just spent 25 minutes looking for this cake recipe because I could not remember the name. Please put the recipes back on the side of the box!!

OH!! I agree with putting the recipes on the box again. I wanted to make this and couldn't remember what went in it except the cake mix. Took an extra trip to the store to get sour cream.

I use a tablespoon of lemon flavoring in my cake mix in the place of the streusel.I use a few tablespoons of powder sugar and evaporated milk and a teaspoon of lemon flavoring for my glaze. I mix them together and put it on the cake while its hot in a plastic cake holder it helps the icing sweat into the cake.

I totally agree with Jotter--I also logged on just to ask for the recipe on the box. By the time I realized it was no longer there, I didn't have any more so I couldn't save one. I tried other (fake) recipes, but nothing compares to this one. Love it and love the Duncan Hines cake better than any other brand. Please put the recipe back where it belongs!!!!!

I logged on to this just so I could ask Duncan Hines to please return the recipe to the box! It was one of the most appreciated little courtesies in the world.

I just finished baking my sock it to me cake. i found that once i warmed the icing in the microwave, i used a tablespoon to dip and allowed the icing to slowly drizzle on the cake and moved the spoon to make a swirled pattern. i hope this advice helps.

Can someone please share a easy technique to drizzle the icing? My technique always looks sloppy to where I have to cut the cake.

Greetings Shaloea! I'm one of those guys who makes more mistakes than successes but I do like cooking as it's calming. My technique is that I take a small zip bag, place my icing inside, microwave it for between five and ten seconds, then with a knife or scissors clip the absolutely smallest piece off of the bottom corner of the bag. I then knead the bag, forcing the icing to move towards the corner and drizzle it out that way. I've found that it's nice to use a couple of bags such as when I want to add food colouring or different flavours such as almond flavour, or cream cheese. I even once added a few drops of rose water to the icing which gave it a lovely flavour as well as a nice essence. Best of luck!

Can a regular "yellow" cake mix, with the addition of butter, etc., be used for this cake??

My boys love this coffee cake so it doesn't last long! I make it with a few little changes...for the cake I use 1/3 c soft butter (vs1/3 c oil) & add 1/2 tsp good vanilla. For the assembly I create a 2nd ribbon of streusel...I put 1/3 batter in pan, cover with 1/2 the streusel, put next 1/3 batter on top, cover with other 1/2 of streusel, then finally put last 1/3 batter on top of that. I also bake the cake at 340 so the outside doesn't brown so fast (I may just need to buy a better quality bundt pan!). In the end, the sliced cake looks really pretty with the additional line of streusel and the outside is softer from not cooking as fast.

This is a request asking that you please put the recipe back on the box. My mom, sister, niece and I were very disappointed to see that it has been removed.

You are so right me and my family love this cake and had a hard time finding out which cake mix to get for the cake mix.I would love to see it back on the box as well.

My husband is allergic to pecans, what other nut is good to use?
Comment by: djns1906 (no discussions) on Oct 26, 2011 at 10:12 PM
I have always used walnuts instead of pecans as I prefer the taste better. I've done it for over 20 years.
Comment by: anne45 (no discussions) on Nov 23, 2011 at 08:16 PM
My mom always used Walnuts in her recipe ,she been making this cake since the late 70s!!

My family and friends love for me to bake this cake. Even though I tell them it's a Duncan Hines recipe, they want me to bake it. I love it! Does anyone know if Duncan Hines has a recipe for a 7 Up Cake?

stgreen,the best 7 Up Cake is made from srcatch. I make it all the time, but it takes a lot of time.

I have made Sock It To Me Cake every Christmas Eve for at least the past 30 years. The Neeley's on Food Network tried to pass thisoff as on old family recipe-I tried to set them straight real fast.

No offense but my moms been making this cake since she was young and baking for family reunions and holidays. past 30 years. I would say its a family tradition and recipe, everyone does it differently. It is so nostalgic to cut into that cake. My whole family remember her for this cake. I want a slice right now.
Comment by: Sometime Cook (no discussions) on Jan 15, 2012 at 03:08 PM
I love this recipe and have made it for years. I love the recipe as it is and I usually eat it without icing. I was annoyed also that the Neeleys would claim it as their own. @KittiMix I would agree with you except that they have the exact Duncin Hines recipe without any changes and present it as their own creation - ant that is just wrong.
Comment by: texas girl (no discussions) on Jan 22, 2012 at 05:44 PM
Great! I'm glad you set the Kneely's straight. Shame on them for trying to take credit.
