This easy-to-make cake features the delicious flavors of a classic pecan pie. It makes a delicious dessert for a holiday dinner, or serve it as an anytime treat with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
I made the 1-2-3-4 Cake. It was my 1st from scratch cake. I put it in a Bundt pan instead of layers. It was light a delicious. My neighbors loved it
Hi, how would I increase the ingredients to use a bundt pan?
Thanks
Hi Queene, The increase would depend upon what size Bundt pan you have. A standard Bundt is 10 cups, this recipe would yield approx. 6 cups. You could double the recipe and fill your Bundt 2/3 way full. Then with the remaining batter bake a few cupcakes. Happy baking!
General question: can you make biscuits with Swans Down Cake Flour?
Hi Brenda, You could use whole milk, but will lose the acidic flavor and thickness of the Buttermilk. Try using 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar plus enough milk to make 1 cup. Let stand 5 minutes before using. Or add 1 ¾ teaspoons of cream of tartar to 1 cup whole milk. Happy baking!
Can you you use a bundt pan for this recipe? Do I need to make any changes?
Hi Virginia, This recipe makes 1 - 9" layer cake. It may work in a smaller Bundt pan. Happy Baking!
I'm going to try this I can't wait Christmas Eve in my Loaf Pans
Hi..
I’m gonna try this recipe this weekend. But I got a question? Should I always sift the flour when baking?
Hi Mrs. Brown, Yes we recommend that you always sift the flour before measuring, unless the recipe specifically tells you not to. Please come back and let us know how delicious the cake is. Happy Baking!
I made this today and it was excellent - flavor, texture, everything. I love how the pecans have that toasted flavor.
I may make this for one of our holiday dinners. I like that it is a smaller cake as I'm only usually cooking for 2.
A small amount of the topping did stick to the pan (I used the Baker's Joy ) but I was able to pick it up and put it back on while it was still warm.
5/5 stars - a keeper.
I tried this recipe twice both times the pecan mixture got stuck to the pan. Any suggestions? The cake is delicious by the way
Hi Adele, Sorry you had this problem. We recommend that you generously coat the bottom and sides of your baking dish with baking spray with flour and invert to a plate after cooling for 5 minutes. You may also try lining the bottom of the dish with parchment and coating the parchment very well with baking spray with flour. Glad to hear the cake is delicious. Happy Baking!
