Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups toasted pecans, coarsely chopped
- 1.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup hot water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms.
Step 4
Fold in the toasted pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar and the remaining 2 cups of granulated sugar, sprinkling the mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
Step 7
Pour the heavy cream over the sugar layer, followed by the hot water. Do not stir!
Step 8
Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the top of the cake is golden and set.
Step 9
Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before serving. The bottom will form a luscious praline-like pudding, while the top remains cake-like.
Step 10
Serve warm by scooping portions into bowls and optionally garnishing with additional pecans or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
