PECAN PIE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE
INGREDIENTS
CAKE
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 3/4 cup. granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup. buttermilk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cup. cake flour
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
TOPPING
  • 2 T. butter melted
  • 3/4 cup. brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup. dark corn syrup
  • 2 T. heavy whipping cream.

INSTRUCTIONS
  • Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  • In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar until well-combined.
  • Scrape down sides, and add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Mix in buttermilk and vanilla.

  • Stir until just combined. Set aside.
  • To make the topping, stir together butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and whipping cream until well-combined.
  • Pour into pan.
  • Top with pecans.
  • Gently spoon batter over pecans. If you pour it in, it may push the pecans in the middle aside, so gently add the batter on top of the pecans.
  • Place pan on rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out without any cake crumbs.
  • Run a knife around the edge, and then invert cake onto plate.




 

Sad news my brother passed away,

Tom left us July 19 2022 to join our other family members. 

I don't know how to begin so

 I will post a few pictures just a keep's sake for me.

I loved my brother, and I will miss or connection very much especially since we all lived so far apart.


Tom & Joni  had a long marriage 56 years together.

I was very happy fpr them they even surpassed Bill and I we had 55 together. Married 53. 

This is going to be short just a few pictures




 
















I think it's time to close this chapter before I lose all my work putting this together.

PEACE  LOVE
