Pecan Upside Down Cake Recipe

Recipe by Rose Atwater

There’s nothing quite like the flavors of Pecan Pie in a soft, delicious yellow cake. This Pecan Upside Down Cake has a crunchy, spiced pecan topping over a moist, vanilla cake underneath. It’s the perfect treat when you’re craving a homemade cake without the fuss layers and frosting. Serve this southern inspired buttery cake warm with a scoop of ice cream or at room temperature with a cup of coffee.
