Ultimate Pecan Pie Cake Recipe

This Pecan Pie Cake Recipe is one you will want to print and save. This delicious cake is topped with chopped pecans and drizzled with pure maple syrup.

A new way to enjoy fall and Thanksgiving season, this pecan pie cake recipe is one you don’t want to miss!

Fall is pie season, for sure, but which one’s your favorite? Apple, pecan, or pumpkin? I’ve seen many people whose all time favorite pie is pecan pie and, honestly. it’s not a surprise. After all, we’re talking about tons of pecan with a delicious, sweet filling.

For me, on the other hand, the variations of pecan pie such as pecan pie bars or pecan pie cakes are more interesting than pecan pie itself. This pecan pie cake recipe is one that I love making for dessert in chilly weather.

This pecan pie cake recipe is pretty simple and basic. It doesn’t require any special skills and you don’t need to be a professional baker to be able to make this. As long as you can crack eggs and mix things using a whisk or an electric mixer, you’re good to go.

I love having a slice of this cake with warm maple syrup in the evening with some tea. How about you?

Notes and tips for pecan pie cake recipe:

• Have the eggs at room temperature for best results.
• For this recipe you can use vegetable oil, baking olive oil or melted coconut oil based on your preference.
• I love adding some extra pure maple syrup to each slice too. I usually heat maple syrup until it’s warm and then drizzle it on the slice of cake, super moist and sweet.
• If you prefer, you can use warm honey instead of maple syrup.
• Plain yogurt or non dairy yogurt would work just as well in this recipe.
