Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup Pecans, chopped
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or nonstick spray.
In the bottom of the cake pan, pour the melted butter. Evenly sprinkle 1 cup of the brown sugar over the butter, then spread the chopped pecans on top. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the cake tough.
Gently pour the batter over the caramel and pecan layer in the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake the coffee cake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen it, then invert onto a serving plate so the caramel pecan layer is on top.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
