Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • a pinch salt
For the Caramel Pecan Filling
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup butter
For the Topping
  • Whipped cream (for serving)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined.
Baking and Filling
  1. Pour the batter into the greased pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  2. While the cake cools, prepare the filling by combining brown sugar, cream, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until smooth, then add pecans and simmer for 5 minutes.
Assembly
  1. When the cake has cooled for about 10 minutes, remove it from the pan and place it on a clean towel.
  2. Spread the caramel pecan mixture evenly over the surface and carefully roll the cake up.
  3. Slice into pinwheels and serve with whipped cream on top.

Notes

Use a non-stick baking pan to prevent sticking, and allow the cake to cool before rolling. Optionally, add more chopped pecans for extra crunch.
