- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup corn syrup
- 1/4 tsp salt

- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- 3 tbsp sour cream
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Liberally spray a bundt pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
