Step 2: Prepare the Cake Batter
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the buttermilk and sour cream.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk mixture. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Step 3: Assemble and Bake the Cake
- Carefully pour the cake batter over the pecan topping in the cake pan, smoothing it out evenly.
- Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes.
Step 4: Flip and Serve
- Place a serving plate over the cake pan and carefully invert the cake.
- Let it sit for a minute before gently lifting the pan to release the cake.
- If any pecans stick to the pan, use a spatula to place them back onto the cake.
- Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Drizzle with extra caramel sauce for added indulgence.
- Pair with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a cozy treat.
