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

For the cake:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans


For the salted caramel:

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

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch cake pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, until the batter is smooth. Fold in the chopped pecans.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the salted caramel and crumble topping.
To make the salted caramel, heat the granulated sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it melts and turns a deep amber color. Add the butter and stir until melted. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring constantly, then add the sea salt. Continue to stir until the caramel is smooth and thickened. Pour the caramel over the cooled cake.
To make the crumble topping, mix together the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is crumbly. Fold in the chopped pecans. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the salted caramel.
Bake the cake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the crumble topping is golden brown. Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before serving.
This Salted Caramel Pecan Crumble Cake is a perfect combination of sweet and salty flavors, with a moist and tender cake base, a rich and creamy salted caramel layer, and a crunchy pecan crumble topping. It is a perfect dessert for any special occasion or holiday gathering.
