How to Make Company Cake

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