🥣 Instructions

1️⃣ Prep the Pan

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C.
  2. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  3. Melt butter for the topping in a small saucepan or microwave.
  4. Stir in brown sugar, then pour into the pan and spread evenly.
  5. Sprinkle pecans over the sugar mixture.

2️⃣ Make the Cake Batter

  1. In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
  4. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients, alternating with milk, until smooth.

3️⃣ Assemble and Bake

  1. Pour cake batter over the pecans and caramel mixture in the pan.
  2. Smooth the top gently.
  3. Bake 35–40 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

4️⃣ Flip and Serve

  1. Let cake cool 10 minutes in the pan.
  2. Run a knife around edges, place a serving plate over the pan, and invert the cake.
  3. Serve warm or at room temperature.

💡 Tips

  • Lightly toast pecans for extra flavor.
  • Make sure to cool slightly before flipping to prevent caramel from spilling.
  • Can be served with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for 2–3 days.
