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! We love
upside-down cakes, and this unbeatable combination of pecan pie and
upside-down cake is no exception.

Expert Tips
Serve cake with sweetened whipped cream on top.
Lining the cake pan with cooking parchment paper will ensure cake comes
easily out of pan.
To make 1 1/2 cups whipped cream, place medium deep bowl and beaters in
freezer or refrigerator to chill. Place 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
and 1
tablespoon powdered sugar in chilled bowl. Beat on low speed until
mixture
begins to thicken. Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla; beat on high speed until
soft
peaks form.
