How to bake a Pecan Meringue Cake

A simple yellow cake, with a twist. The batter is topped with pecans and then meringue before going into the oven. It comes out of the oven already frosted, ready to serve. The original recipe was sent by a fan, Bryson, from an old cookbook.

My mother has made a version of this cake for years, but she always called it a torte. She made it once a year for my Dad's birthday because it was his favorite cake. The difference is she made two layers, then filled the layers with a vanilla egg custard.

great video dennis! your improvisations on meringue application were excellent and the reason i subscribe! the name is ridicolous - i guess someone determined that pecans constitute the east's perception of caramel? what a hoot! thanks!

Looks yummy, quick and easy.  They may call it caramel because you use brown sugar instead of white in the meringue.  You're awesome.

Love this idea. The only thing I would add is a couple of teaspoons of cinnamon. (We like cinnamon ;-) )
We have company coming for a two week visit from Denmark and I'm going to put this in the line up for their visit.

I bet that at one time sliced almonds were used (thus the Asian aspect that seemed so popular in the early 60's modern housewives cookbooks and magazine recipes -- remember Chop Suey? LOL) and the meringue gets caramelized from the baking, but through modifications and personal tastes, the nuts were changed to delicious pecans! Thanks for explaining your modifications.  Both ways sound good to me!  Do you think these turn out more like bars, or like cake?  Thanks for the videos!

Great looking cake I will give that a try sometime..  I wonder if you used that brown sugar in the original recipe stated you might of got the caramel from it.  Did you try cooking the original recipe before you altered it to your recipe?
