How To Achieve An Extra Moist Pecan Upside Down Cake Every Time

By Bhavana Verma

Use Buttermilk or Sour Cream

Buttermilk or sour cream have probiotics that break down gluten and make it soft and dense.

Don't Overmix the Batter

Overmixing can make the cake dry so only mix it until ingredients are just combined.

Use Room Temperature Ingredients

Room temperature butter, eggs, and milk mix easily and create smoother batter.

Add Extra Fat

A little extra butter and vegetable oil locks in moisture and makes the cake moist.

Use a Water Bath

A water bath maintains a consistent moisture and ensures the cake doesn’t go dry while baking.
