Method

Preparations

  1. 1

    Toast the Pecans

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the pecans and toast them for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Batter Preparation

  1. 3

    Mix the Wet Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

  2. 4

    Combine the Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

  3. 5

    Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  4. 6

    Add Toasted Pecans

    Fold in the toasted pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Baking

  1. 7

    Bake the Dessert

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  2. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the dessert to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature topped with whipped cream and caramel sauce.
