To make this Salted Caramel Pecan Cake, you will need the following ingredients:

For the cake:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk

For the caramel sauce:

- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

For the pecan topping:

- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch cake pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before removing it from the pan.
While the cake is cooling, make the caramel sauce. In a medium saucepan, heat the sugar over medium-high heat until it melts and turns a deep amber color. Add in the butter and whisk until melted. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking constantly. Stir in the sea salt and let the sauce cool.
For the pecan topping, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add in the brown sugar and heavy cream, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the chopped pecans and sea salt.
To assemble the cake, place the cooled cake on a serving platter. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Sprinkle the pecan topping over the caramel sauce. Serve and enjoy!
This Salted Caramel Pecan Cake is a perfect combination of sweet and salty flavors, with a moist and fluffy texture. It is a great dessert for any occasion, and is sure to impress your guests.
