*For those craving a dessert that’s as visually striking as it is delicious, the Sticky Pecan Upside-Down Bundt Cake is a must-try.
This irresistible treat combines a rich, gooey pecan topping with a fluffy vanilla cake, elevated by a touch of sour cream for a moist, tangy depth. When inverted, the cake reveals a caramelized pecan crown that drizzles slightly down the sides, promising a warm, comforting bite every time.
The star of this dessert is its topping, a luscious mix of melted butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and a pinch of salt, blended until smooth and studded with chopped pecans. “Corn syrup helps the pecan topping stay gooey without getting too hard,” the recipe explains, though maple syrup or honey can offer a flavorful twist.
For an extra nutty punch, toasting the pecans beforehand is recommended. The cake batter, built on a vanilla cake mix like Betty Crocker Super Moist, is enriched with eggs, vegetable oil, water, and sour cream, Greek yogurt works as a substitute for a texture that feels homemade despite its shortcut origins.
To prepare, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly coat a 10-inch bundt pan with nonstick spray to ensure easy release. Spread the pecan mixture evenly in the pan’s base, then pour the smooth, lump-free batter over it. Bake for 40–45 minutes until a toothpick emerges clean. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before confidently flipping it onto a serving plate with a few taps to free the sticky topping.
“Use a nonstick bundt pan and coat it generously to avoid sticking,” the recipe advises.
This cake shines whether served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or at room temperature with a steaming cup of coffee. It pairs wonderfully with desserts like Caramel Apple Pie Cookies or Easy Coconut Macaroons for a varied spread. Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to three days, in the fridge for five, or freeze slices for up to two months, reheating briefly to revive the gooey topping. This cake’s effortless charm and rich flavors make it a standout for any occasion.
