Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cake mix, oil, sour cream and eggs with a hand mixer until well mixed and no dry cake mix is present in the bowl.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, pecans (if using) and cinnamon.
  3. Spray the bottom of a 5 quart or larger slow cooker (Or a 3.5 quart casserole slow cooker) with non-stick cooking spray.
  4. Add half of the cake mix to the prepared slow cooker, spreading evenly with a silicone spatula.
  5. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the top of the cake batter.
  6. Pour the remaining half of the cake batter over the brown sugar mixture, again, spreading evenly.
