How to Make Chocolate Nut Upside Down Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and corn syrup, stirring until melted and smooth.
  3. Stir in chopped pecans and walnuts. Pour mixture into prepared pan and spread evenly.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  6. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  8. Pour batter over the nut mixture in the prepared pan. Spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
