How to Make Maple Upside Down Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium saucepan, combine maple syrup, butter, and brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved.
- Pour mixture into the prepared cake pan and arrange pecan halves evenly over the top.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour batter over the maple syrup mixture in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
