I know what you’re thinking… “How can I possibly make this Pecan Upside-Down Bundt Cake from scratch? It looks so fancy, and it’s like a cake and pecan pie all in one!”
Well, two of those points are true. It does look fancy, and it is like a cake and pecan pie all in one, but you can make it. I’ll even let you in on a little secret, it’s made using a boxed cake mix so half the work is already done for you!
The moist, not-too-sweet cake base pairs perfectly with the crunchy, nutty, pecan pie filling-like topping to create a match made in heaven. Not to mention, the flip!
1 yellow cake mix us 1 pack of instant vanilla pudding. 3 eggs, 1/2 cup oil. 1 cup water.
Mix.
In bundt pan or square or oblong, spray with baking spray, melt 1 stick of butter, but the melted butter in pan. Cover bottom of pan with light brown sugar, layer pecans on top of butter and brown sugar.
Poor cake mix on top of pecans. Bake at 350 for 35 to 45 minutes. Bundt pan takes 45 minutes. Cool before turning it onto plate.
How much pecans brown sugar and butter. ??
Says a stick of butter and enough brown sugar and pecans to cover bottom of pan.
Do you make the vanilla pudding or just mix the powder with the cake mix
Just use the dry pudding powder
Put dry pudding in with dry cake mix then follow cake mix instruction
Where does the pudding go?
I found this recipe in several places and they all have the same typo/problem. “1 yellow cake mix us 1 pack of instant vanilla pudding.” Us – is that supposed to be up, as in mix up or in as in mix in? Do you put the dry pudding powder in or mix up the pudding then add? Anyone make it so you know?
I think the us is supposed to be plus. Add the dry pudding mix to the cake mix. Then add eggs, oil and water. And then mix batter.
I think the word is “plus”.
yes put the pudding in cake mix…mix together
What size pudding mix. Small or large?
Small box of instant pudding
I small box vanilla pudding. Do not make. Just add dry mix.
Can you use butterscotch pudding instead of vanilla pudding
I think I might try this I think I might try this recipe do you have to wait tocools to flip it over see
So hard to get out of pan. Never get it out if wait till cooled
I tap on sides and bottom of pan when I bring out from the oven. After tapping I’ll let it sit just for a few minutes then cake usually falls right out.
Us is supposed to be use and put the melted butter in, not but.
How much brown sugar????
You add enough sugar to cover the bottom of pan evenly, roughly about 1/2 lbs, the large box of pudding will be fine for 1 box of cake mix. You can flip the cake as soon as you can handle the pan, about 15 – 20 minutes after it’s done.
Where can I go to get a decent recipe for this cake. This one makes no sense .
Heat oven 350. Place a stick of margarine in cake pan and set in oven long enough to melt. Now sprinkle brown sugar into pan and mix into the melted margarine. I’d say start with a cup of br. Sugar. You can always add more if needed. Now put pecans or pineapple or peaches or whatever kind of canned fruit you may want, just be sure to drain the fruit. You can save the juice and use it as part of your liquid when you misplaced your cake according to cake direction. After mixing cake pour batter on top of pecans or pineapples or what ever you chose to use. Bake as Isaiah but you may have to bake a tad bit longer then recipe calls for. When done and cake can be handled place cookie sheet on top of cake pan and tip over causing pineapple to be on top.
I’ve done this for years when I had pecans on hand. Using them when I make a pineapple upside down cake. Only thing different what I see in this recipe is the adding of the vanilla pudding.
I’ll try this then I’ll send comments.
Can you use pineapples and pecans?
what about using a butter pecan cake mix?
