Cake and Toppings
Baking Instructions
1. Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, mix together the sugar, Duke’s mayonnaise, vanilla extract, and eggs until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Bake the Cake
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Cool the Cakes
Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Assemble the Cake
Once cooled, place one layer on a serving plate, spread a layer of caramel sauce and sprinkle with half of the sugared pecans. Top with the second layer and drizzle with more caramel sauce.
8. Serve
Garnish with remaining sugared pecans and serve slices with additional caramel sauce if desired.
