Pecan Upside Down Cake
Sep 20, 2024 09:57 AM
Sticky, sweet, a little spice, and whole lot of yum - this Pecan Upside Down Cake has a caramel pecan topping baked over a tender buttermilk cake. It is as if you took decadent sticky buns and crossed them with moistest, melt-in-your-mouth cake!
You will love all of the incredible flavors and textures of this pecan upside down cake. The topping is full of brown sugar and maple syrup that caramelizes in the oven. It is similar to the topping for sticky buns and not unlike pecan pie, but without the corn syrup.
I added ground cinnamon for extra warmth and spice. The flavors go perfectly with the tender buttermilk cake.
I baked this recipe as a pecan upside down Bundt cake, and it is so stunning! The pecans glisten in the caramel topping and, as always, the Bundt shape makes the cake elegant and beautiful.
