  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.

  3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the creamed mixture alternately with milk.
  5. Fold in the chopped pecans.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the pecan praline topping over the batter.
Baking
  1. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Let cool before serving.

Notes

Use fresh baking powder for best results and remember to cool the cake before adding the praline topping to avoid a messy glaze.
