PECAN UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE
Pecan upside-down cake is so easy and delicious.
My family loves anything with pecans and they especially love pecans with brown sugar on a cake. This cake takes no time to throw together. You don’t even need a mixer. Make it when you need a quick dessert for family and friends. You could even double the cake recipe and make it into a two layer cake. It keeps well in a cool place for several days and seems to get better with age. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream on top for a real treat.
This pecan upside-down cake is one of our favorites.
Topping:
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup pecan pieces
Ingredients for Cake:
1 1/3 cups baking mix (Bisquick, Jiffy Baking Mix or make your baking mix with our recipe)
3/4 cup white granulated sugar
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Melt butter in oven in a 9 inch round cake pan. Stir brown sugar into melted butter in pan. Arrange pecans over butter and brown sugar. Whisk together the baking mix and white sugar in a mixing bowl. Add buttermilk, egg and vanilla extract. Stir well with a spoon. Spread over the pecans. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until center tests done when stuck with a fork or toothpick. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes to cool before taking out of pan. Makes 1 nine inch round cake. Enjoy!
