Ingredients
  

For the Cake Base:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 large egg

For the Pecan Pie Layer:

  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup dark corn syrup
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

1️⃣ Prepare the Cake Batter

  • In another bowl, whisk milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.

2️⃣ Create the Pecan Pie Layer

  • In a separate bowl, mix corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla.

3️⃣ Layer & Bake

  • Pour cake batter into a greased 9x13-inch pan.
