Here’s a delicious recipe for Pecan Upside Down Cake:
Ingredients:
For the topping:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
For the cake:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup milk
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until it’s completely dissolved. Pour this mixture into the bottom of the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- Arrange the pecan halves over the brown sugar mixture in a decorative pattern.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter over the pecan and brown sugar mixture in the cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, run a knife around the edges to loosen the cake, and carefully invert it onto a serving plate.
- Serve the pecan upside-down cake warm or at room temperature.
