How to Make Pecan Caramel Bourbon Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup chopped pecans, 1 cup caramel sauce, and 1/4 cup bourbon. Stir until well combined.
  7. Fold the pecan caramel bourbon mixture into the batter.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once cooled, drizzle with additional caramel sauce (optional) and garnish with extra chopped pecans.
