Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 9-inch round or 8-inch square pan with shortening or cooking spray.
  • 2
    In small bowl, mix all filling ingredients; set aside. In medium bowl, mix 1 1/3 cups flour, the sugar, orange peel, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until small crumbs form. Reserve 1 cup of the crumb mixture for topping. To remaining crumb mixture in bowl, add sour cream, eggs and vanilla; beat with electric mixer on medium speed about 1 minute or until blended.
  • 3
    Spread batter in pan. Spoon filling over batter and spread evenly. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture and the pecans; pat gently.
  • 4
    Bake 65 to 70 minutes or until light golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging. Cool 30 minutes. Serve warm if desired.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Try a piece of cake warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzled with caramel topping!
  • tip 2
    Braeburn apples work well in this cake; or try another crisp, sweet-tart apple such as Cortland or Gala.
