Instructions
For Caramel
In a large skillet stir together the sugar and water. Cook over medium heat without stirring until the mixture is ambe colored - about 10 mins.
Remove from heat.
Stir in cream and butter.
Let cool in the skillet stirring frequently.
Preheat oven to 350F.
Line a 9" cast iron skillet with parchment paper.
For Topping
Whisk the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
Using a spoon or hand mixer, stir in butter until crumbly. Add in the walnuts.
Set aside.
For Cake
Using a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar at medium speed until fluffy - scrape sides as needed.
Add eggs and beat well.
Add sour cream and vanilla.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add flour mixture to flour/butter mixture beating just until combined.
Spread half the batter into prepared skillet.
Drizzle with ¾ of the caramel and sprinkle with pecans.
Top with remaining batter.
Spread the remaining caramel on top.
Sprinkle with topping.
Bake 45 - 50 minutes until a fork inserted in the center comes out clean.
Notes
For a larger cake, use a 17" cast iron skillet and triple the recipe. I also line my skillet with baking parchment to be extra safe.
