How to Make Company Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 1 cup milk until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- **Make the Caramel Sauce:** In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup caramels, ¼ cup water, and a pinch of salt.
- Cook and stir constantly until the caramels are melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup chopped pecans.
- Let the caramel sauce cool slightly before using.
- Once the cake is completely cool, cut into squares and drizzle generously with the salted caramel pecan sauce.
