Pecan Pie Upside-Down Cake image

We love upside-down cakes, and this unbeatable combination of pecan pie and upside-down cake is no exception. Brown sugar, melted butter and pecan halves are mixed together and spread in a cake pan, which then gets topped with a sweet Bisquick™ batter, baked, and drizzled with a powdered sugar-milk glaze. The end result is a gooey pecan pie layer that sits atop a fluffy-yet dense-cake, instead of a pie crust. This dessert is a wonderful treat for fall (or all year-round for pecan pie lovers!) and tastes especially delightful when served with a side of from-scratch sweetened whipped cream. We love this cake as a sweet addition to any meal-either a post-dinner treat or even as a star of your next brunch party!

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon water
1 cup pecan halves
1 1/2 cups Original Bisquick™ mix
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 to 3 teaspoons milk

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray; line with cooking parchment paper.

Place heatproof serving plate upside down over pan; turn plate and pan over. Remove pan. Replace any pecans that may still be in pan on top of cake. Cool 15 minutes.
  • In small bowl, mix powdered sugar and 2 teaspoons of the milk until well blended. If too thick to drizzle, add additional milk, 1/4 teaspoon at a time. Drizzle with fork over top. For 8 servings, cut into 8 wedges. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.
