Cinnamon Lover's Upside Down Pecan Cake

Cake
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup salted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon (or less) ground cinnamon
1 cup milk

Topping ingredients
2 cups coarsely chopped toasted pecans
3/4 cup shredded sweetened flake coconut
2/3 cup brown sugar
6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Line a 12x17-inch jelly roll pan with aluminum foil, making sure it hangs over the sides a bit, then grease with non-stick spray (or use non-stick foil).
Mix the pecans, brown sugar and 3/4 cup of the coconut in a small bowl. Or just mix it right in the pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon and stir. Spread the pecan mixture in the lined pan and drizzle with vanilla extract and melted butter.
Beat the softened butter on high speed until smooth and creamy
Add the sugars and beat on high speed for until creamed together
Add 1 egg at a time, beating well after each addition until both are mixed in. Beat in the vanilla extract and sour cream.
Add the dry ingredients (flour and soda) to the wet ingredients alternating with the milk.

Spread the cake batter over the pecan mixture. Smooth it out into a thin, even layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 5-10 minutes. Invert the cake onto a platter.

I’ve been watching you for over 10 years now and now I’m a baker myself and cake decorator. Thank you for your consistently amazing recipes! I still always say happy cream cheese in my head when I’m using it for a recipe 😂

Yummy, this would go great with a cup of coffee haha! I'm so glad you're back, sending you love from Ireland!

[duckyone]

I would eat that bottom layer alone 😂. I saw chocolate extract today, I bet that would be good in this!

[Flareontoast]

Oh this is a good idea! I've got some leftover pecans and I've been thinking about what to do with them. I might make something with cinnamon then!

Coming back to your videos after not having watched any in awhile. I guess your son is grown up now and doesn't want Minecraft and rainbow cakes anymore and it breaks my heart lol. Started watching well over 10 years ago and now have a 10 year old and 2 year old the older of which loves to bake any kind of funky or exciting recipe with me. It's literally a shame you have less than a million subs and I personally blame myself for having forgotten to watch for awhile. Anyone reading this especially if you are new please subscribe and like, comment, and share on her post so we can get her channel the traction it deserves.

Wow I have not seen your videos in my suggested videos in I a while

[melso]

Can I leave out the coconut? Or is there something else I can replace it with it?

I bet that your cinnamon playlist that you made is highly dedicated for your husband. Plus, I bet that he likes to put cinnamon on almost everything from pretzels, oatmeal, cookies, you name it!
