- Preheat the oven to 350°F with a rack in the center of the oven.
- Brush the inside of the Bundt cake pan with melted butter; dust with flour.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a stand mixer bowl, beat the butter and coconut oil on medium speed until smooth and light in color, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the sugar, 1/3-cup at a time, creaming until light and fluffy; scrape the bowl.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each one is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Scrape the bowl, and add the vanilla and zest.
- On the lowest mixer speed, alternate adding the flour mixture and the sour cream in small amounts, beginning and ending with the flour mixture; do not over-mix the batter.
- In a medium bowl, combine the pecan meal, sugars, cinnamon, salt, and cocoa.
- Use your fingertips to blend until well combined.
- Spoon two-heaping cups of the batter into the prepared Bundt.
- Smooth with the back of a spoon, spreading the batter to the sides of the pan first and then to the center cone to create a well for the filling.
- Sprinkle about ½-cup filling evenly into the well.
- Cover the filling with about 2-cups batter, dropping dollops around the pan and smoothing with the spoon.
- Sprinkle another ½-cup filling evenly over the batter, and cover with 2-cups batter.
- Repeat until you end with batter as your final layer; ideally you’ll have four layers of batter and three layers of filling.
- Insert a butter knife 1 inch from the side of the pan straight into the batter going almost to the bottom.
- Run the blade around the pan twice, without lifting, spacing your loops about 1 inch apart for optimal cinnamon swirling effect.
- Tap the pan firmly several times on a cutting board or counter top to release any bubbles from the batter.
- Bake until the top of the cake is golden brown, the sides are beginning to pull away from the pan, and a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50 to 60 minutes.
- Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool for 10 minutes before inverting the pan to release the cake.
- Melt the butter; stir in the vanilla, salt, and sugar.
- Use up to 1-teaspoon milk to reach desired consistency, then pour over the cooled cake.
