PECAN PIE CAKE



Pecan Pie Cake image

This is absolutely to-die-for!!! Once you try this delicious cake, you will want to make it again and again!!

Provided by Boyz 5

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (18 ounce) box yellow cake mix
1 egg
1/2 cup melted butter
1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
3 eggs
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups pecans

Steps:

  • Combine cake mix, 1 egg, and melted butter together; set aside 2/3 cup of this batter.
  • Spread the rest into a greased and floured 9 by 13-inch baking pan and bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes until lightly browned.
  • Mix reserved 2/3 cup batter with syrup, 3 eggs, brown sugar, vanilla and pecans.
  • Pour this filling on top of crust and cook for 50 to 60 minutes at 325 degrees Fahrenheit or until set.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start baking, measure and prep all your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure you have everything you need.
  • Use a quality pecan filling: The pecan filling is the heart of the cake roll, so it's important to use a good-quality filling. A homemade pecan filling is always best, but you can also use a store-bought filling if you're short on time.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake roll tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake roll carefully: The cake roll is thin, so it can easily overcook. Keep a close eye on it while it's baking.
  • Roll the cake roll up while it's still warm: Once the cake roll is out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes before rolling it up. This will help prevent the cake from cracking.
  • Chill the cake roll before serving: Chilling the cake roll will help it set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This pecan pie cake roll is a delicious and impressive dessert that's perfect for any occasion. With its rich pecan filling and tender sponge cake, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
