Toffee-Pecan Nutmeg Cakes Recipe

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup cold butter or margarine
  • 1 1/4 cups chopped pecans, toasted, divided (optional)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 cups sour cream
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  1. In a bowl, combine flour, brown sugar and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Place 3 cups of mixture in a small bowl; add 1/2 cup pecans. Press gently onto the bottom of two greased 9-in. round baking pans.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the egg, sour cream, baking soda, nutmeg and vanilla; mix well. Beat in the remaining flour mixture until well blended. Pour over the crust. Sprinkle with remaining pecans.
  3. Bake at 350 degrees F for 33-38 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks. Cut into wedges.
