Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish thoroughly with butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well-incorporated.
- Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter.
- Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Sprinkle the chopped pecans uniformly over the top of the batter, ensuring an even distribution.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cake cool for 15-20 minutes before serving. This allows the dessert to set and makes cutting easier.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure eggs and milk are at room temperature for a smoother, more evenly mixed batter.
- Don't Overmix: Gently fold ingredients together to keep the cake tender and prevent a tough texture.
- Toasting Pecans: For extra flavor, lightly toast the pecans before adding them to the recipe to enhance their nutty profile.
- Check Doneness: Use the toothpick test—if it comes out clean with a few moist crumbs, your cake is perfectly baked.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a truly indulgent experience.
- Storage: Store covered at room temperature for 2-3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
