Caramel Pecan Cake


Caramel Pecan Cake

Caramel pecan cake is a delightful cake with the irresistible flavor of caramel and roasted pecans .Dark ember colored caramel is something that I have never been able to resist  in desserts or in baked goodies.This recipe takes a little time, preparing the caramel and roasting and chopping the pecans,but it is really worth the effort.


Ingredients
For the caramel syrup
Sugar - 1 cup
water - 1/4 cup
Butter- 1/4 cup

For the caramel  sauce
Caramel syrup
Heavy cream- 1/3 cup
Vanilla essence- 1/2 tsp

For the cake
Flour-2 cup
Sugar- 1/2 cup
Caramel syrup- 1/3 cup
Baking powder- 1 1/3 tsp
Salt- 1/3 tsp
milk- 1/2 cup
Eggs -3
Vanilla essence- 1 1/2 tsp
Butter- 1/2 stick
Chopped pecans 1/2 cup

Layer pecans evenly on a cookie pan and place in the oven at 350 degree F for about 6-8 minutes till there is nice flavor. When cooled chop this and keep aside

To make caramel: In a pan add sugar and water. Leave it in medium flame to melt and brown up. Do not stir and allow it to melt and change color. take off from the flame and add butter and stir and put it back in medium flame undisturbed till it attains a dark ember color. Switch off the flame and allow to cool. Remove half of the syrup and keep aside. Reheat the rest of the syrup and add 1/4 cup of heavy cream ( take it off from the flame before adding heavy cream as the mixture will be bubbly). Stir till it attains a creamy sauce texture. Add vanilla essence and allow to cool till it attains room temperature.

To make the cakes shift flour, baking powder and salt and keep aside. Preheat oven to 350 degree F.Prepare cake tin by buttering and lining with parchment paper.

Using a hand mixer beat room temperature butter and sugar till it is creamy. Add eggs one at a time and beat the mixture till light and fluffy. Fold in little by little flour and stir in caramel sauce, vanilla essence and milk till the mixture is smooth and even. Mix chopped pecan with two tsp of flour and fold into the batter. Pour into prepared cake tin. Even it using the spatula and bake for 40 minutes or till the tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the cake completely.Spread a layer of caramel sauce decorate the cake as desired.
