We've found the most deliciously easy way to put a zero-effort spin on pecan pie. This dump dessert with a luscious, gooey, pecan pie-inspired filling and a crisp cake mix topping comes together in virtually no time but has tons of fall flavor.

PECAN PIE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Pecan Pie Upside-Down Cake image

We love upside-down cakes, and this unbeatable combination of pecan pie and upside-down cake is no exception. Brown sugar, melted butter and pecan halves are mixed together and spread in a cake pan, which then gets topped with a sweet Bisquick™ batter, baked, and drizzled with a powdered sugar-milk glaze. The end result is a gooey pecan pie layer that sits atop a fluffy-yet dense-cake, instead of a pie crust. This dessert is a wonderful treat for fall (or all year-round for pecan pie lovers!) and tastes especially delightful when served with a side of from-scratch sweetened whipped cream. We love this cake as a sweet addition to any meal-either a post-dinner treat or even as a star of your next brunch party!

Tips:

  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the pie to set and the flavors to develop.
  • Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream: This will add a delicious finishing touch.
