Adapted from texashillcountry.com
Ingredients
4 sticks butter
4 cups sugar
4 cups flour (cake or all purpose)
8 large eggs
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
2 to 3 teaspoons vanilla flavoring
1 cup pecans, chopped
1 cup brown sugar
1 jar of caramel ice cream topping

Steps:

  • Leave cream cheese, butter, and eggs out to reach room temperature.
  • In mixer, cream butter, cream cheese, and sugar until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time. Then, add flour, one cup at a time. Last, add vanilla flavoring.
  • Grease and flour tube/bundt pan and pour in batter. Pour in batter first, then sprinkle pecans and brown sugar on top (a cup or little more of each). Lightly press into the batter.
  • Bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes. (You may want to tent the top with foil to keep the nuts from scorching.) Then, increase the temperature to 325 degrees and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Test the cake with a fork or wooden skewer to check for doneness. The utensil should come out dry and clean (no batter). Bake 5 more minutes if not quite done.
  • Remove from the oven and allow a few minutes to cool before removing from pan. When you invert onto a plate, you may lose a few nuts, but most will bake into the top layer of crust.
  • Then, turn the cake onto another plate so that the nuts are on top. Drizzle with jar of caramel ice cream topping.
  • Heat from the cake will make the caramel melt over the pecans. Enjoy!

Time 5h15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

DOUGH:
1 3/4 c all-purpose flour
10 Tbsp chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp ice water
CUSTARD FILLING:
1 egg yolk
2 whole eggs
3/4 c firmly packed dark brown sugar
3 Tbsp melted butter
1 c light corn syrup
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp grand marnier

Steps:

  • 1. Dough: Sift the flour into a bowl. Using a pastry cutter, 2 forks or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the salt.

Press the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 2 hours or up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Dust a work surface with flour. Working quickly with a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a circle 15 inches in diameter. Line an 11 inch pie tart pan with a removable bottom with the dough, pressing the dough evenly into the pan and trimming the edges. Return the lined tart pan to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • 2. Custard Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, eggs and dark brown sugar. Add the melted butter, corn syrup, salt and Grand Marnier. Whisk until smooth.
  • 3. Assembly: Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F. Sprinkle the pecan pieces over the bottom of the chilled tart shell. Pour the custard over the top of the pecans. Bake until the filling is set, about 35-45 minutes. Let cook completely and serve.
