Time 2h15m

Yield Makes one 10-inch Bundt cake

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening, plus more for pan and bowl
1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees to 115 degrees)
1/4 cup granulated sugar, plus a pinch for yeast
1 envelope dry active yeast (scant tablespoon)
3/4 cup warm milk (110 degrees to 115 degrees)
1 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup firmly packed light-brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup milk
2 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Lightly coat a 10-inch Bundt pan and a medium bowl with shortening; set aside. Put the warm water and a pinch of sugar in a small bowl; sprinkle yeast over top. Stir; let the yeast soften and dissolve, about 5 minutes.
  • Place shortening, milk, sugar, salt, and egg in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook.
  • Add yeast mixture to shortening mixture, and beat to combine. Slowly add flour. Knead on medium-low, 1 minute. Transfer dough to the prepared bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, and let stand in a warm place, 20 minutes.
  • Make coating: Place melted butter in a bowl. In a second bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts; sprinkle 2 tablespoons nut mixture into prepared Bundt pan.
  • Cut dough into 1/2-inch pieces. Roll into balls. Coat in butter, then roll in nut mixture, and place in prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap, and let stand in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in pan for 15 minutes. Invert onto a serving plate, and let cool 20 minutes more.
  • Make icing: In a small bowl, combine milk and confectioners' sugar. Stir until smooth. Drizzle over bread.
