How to make it

  • heat over to 350f Spray a 9by2 inch round baking pan with cooking spray. Live bottom of pan with parchment; spray again.
  • Heat all topping ingredients except pecans in a small saucepan over medium heat for 5 minutes or until butter melts, stirring frequently. Pour into pan, coating bottom; sprinkly with pecans.***(see note at end)
  • Whisk flour, cinnamon, baking powder, soda and salt in med bowl. Beat 6 tbs butter in a large bowl at med speed until creamy. Add sugar and 1/3 c brown sugar; beat 3 mins or until ight and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla until blended.
  • At low speed, beat in flour mixture in 3 parts alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Spread batter over caramel layer.
  • Bake 40 to 45 min or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and top is firm to the touch. Cool on wire rack 8 mins. Invert onto serving plate. Drizzle any caramel remaining in pan. Serve warm or at room temp.
  • Note: A quicker version for the sauce is to use a store bought caramel topping in a jar, heating it with a little milk or heavy cream to thin it slightly. After the cake is baked but still warm drizzle with the caramel and top with the pecans.
