ULTIMATE COFFEE CAKE (PAULA DEEN)

Steps:

• The night before place frozen rolls in well greased bundt pan.
• Sprinkle dry pudding mix over rolls, sprinkle brown sugar over pudding mix, sprinkle chopped pecans over brown sugar, pour melted butter over all.
• To prevent dough from forming a hard crust while it's rising overnight, cover with a damp towel or tightly wrap with plastic wrap. Let rise overnight at room temperature about 8 to 10 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Bake in oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Turn pan over onto a serving platter to remove. Serve by pulling apart chunks with forks.
• Enjoy!
• UPDATE: You are right! I didn't realize that when I was making it, I was only using 14 rolls. I tried it with 16 this morning and while rising, the dough 'overflowed', I can't imagine using 18. Maybe Paula was using a bigger Bundt pan? Anyway, with a regular sized Bundt, I've found 14 rolls to work out great!
