Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
Set the temperature of your oven to ensure even baking. A preheated oven is the key to achieving the right texture—light and fluffy.
Greasing your pan allows for easy removal. Butter it generously, then add a sprinkle of flour; the cake will gently release when it’s ready.
Combining the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt ensures that the rising agents are evenly distributed within the mix, leading to a consistent cake structure.
Use an electric mixer on medium speed for this step; the fluffy texture achieved here is pivotal. Each beat should create a warm, inviting fragrance.
Eggs add essential moisture and fat. Make sure they are at room temperature for better emulsification.
Mixing alternately with buttermilk allows a smooth batter without lumps. This combination keeps the cake moist from inside out.
Chop your pecans roughly, allowing for a great bite in each slice. Each pecan piece adds both flavor and texture to your Butter Pecan Bliss!
Spread it gently to ensure an even bake. You’re creating a smooth surface that will rise beautifully and create a lovely finish.
Keep an eye on the cake as it nears the end of baking; the golden-brown top will indicate it’s nearly ready!
Patience is key while cooling. The cake will firm up as it cools, making slicing easier. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature, both are delightful!
Notes
Use Fresh Ingredients
Ensure your butter, eggs, and baking powder are fresh. This makes a significant difference in flavor and texture.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container. The flavors often develop even deeper after a day or two!

Baking is a wonderful activity to share with friends or family. Consider hosting a cake-baking day, where everyone gets involved, rolling up sleeves and creating treasured memories along with a spectacular dessert. The laughter and camaraderie that fill your kitchen will be as delightful as the cake itself!
Celebrating Special Occasions with Cake

Flavors You Can Explore
Feel free to explore various flavor alterations! Adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg can elevate the cake and offer different profiles for your Butter Pecan Bliss. Experimentation is part of the fun, and your kitchen is your canvas!
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Ensure your butter is at room temperature before creaming; cold butter will not incorporate well and affect the cake’s texture drastically. Over-mixing the batter can lead to a dense cake, so fold gently during the dry ingredient addition. Finally, don’t skip the cooling step – diving into a hot cake can lead to a crumbly, less satisfying experience. With these tips, you’ll achieve the best possible Butter Pecan Bliss!
