Pecan Upside Down Cake 🍰🌰

Indulge in rich, buttery pecan goodness with this caramelized pecan-topped cake. It’s the perfect dessert for any occasion!

Ingredients:

For the Pecan Topping:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups pecan halves

For the Cake Batter:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Pecan Topping:
In a medium bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, and salt.
Pour this mixture evenly into the prepared cake pan. Arrange the pecan halves in a single layer over the brown sugar mixture.

3. Prepare the Cake Batter:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk and sour cream, starting and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined.

4. Assemble the Cake:
Gently spread the cake batter over the pecan topping in the cake pan, ensuring an even layer.

5. Bake the Cake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate.
