Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup milk
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup hot water
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
-
Prepare Batter: In a large mixing bowl, beat together eggs, sugar, canola oil, and milk until well combined.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, mixing well after each addition.
-
Add Vanilla: Stir in vanilla extract until incorporated into the batter.
-
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
-
Prepare Caramel Pecan Sauce: While the cake is cooling, prepare the caramel pecan sauce. In a heavy saucepan, combine caramels and water. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until the caramels are melted and the mixture is smooth.
-
Add Pecans: Stir in the chopped pecans, mixing until they are evenly coated with the caramel sauce. Let it cool slightly.
-
Serve: Cut the cooled cake into squares. Spoon the warm caramel pecan sauce generously over each cake square.
