To the dry ingredients, add the eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes, or until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Assemble the Cake
Pour the Batter: Carefully pour the cake batter over the pecan and brown sugar mixture in the prepared pan.
Spread Evenly: Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly across the top, ensuring it reaches the corners of the pan.
Step 4: Bake the Cake
Bake: Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 5: Flip and Serve
Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. This will make it easier to flip.
Invert the Cake: Place a large serving platter over the cake pan. Carefully flip it over so that the cake releases onto the platter, revealing the pecan topping.
Serve: Slice the cake while warm and serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat!
Presentation Tips
Serve the cake on a decorative cake stand to elevate its visual appeal.
Drizzle with caramel sauce or a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant touch.
Garnish with additional pecans or fresh berries for color and flair.
Enjoy!
