Definitely going to make this again! One cup is plenty of pecans. I loved the texture of the cake. The top (once you flip it) isn't too sweet or gooey.

My Hubby & I alter recipes for a lower carb lifestyle. Instead of putting the top on the bottom, I mix it INTO the batter. MMM!

I'm afraid I re-made this made over cake because I wanted to use items I had on hand. So--regular butter, regular sour cream, and a yellow cake mix because I can't find butter pecan cake mixes any more. But--it's absolutely wonderful, anyway. My mother-in-law thought it was the best dessert I've ever made--and that's high praise. The idea of coarsely chopping the pecans was a good one--it was difficult to cut with whole halves. I added a dollop of whipped cream and some fresh raspberries when I servied it. A magnificent dessert.<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"04\/21\/2011 15:10","GUID":"a54eda9fe29b4978b2defcaf3bdccbcb","MemberId":3036357,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"ltning7","SubmittedDate":"04\/21\/2011 15:13"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"04\/21\/2011 14:23","GUID":"5c80e7118c204af6b38e5015ad7e6c14","MemberId":4921193,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"Bobur7","SubmittedDate":"04\/21\/2011 14:23"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"04\/21\/2011 13:34","GUID":"6ac97e52988147c99fd18b0ac97ccb6f","MemberId":1615807,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"suzanne3030","SubmittedDate":"04\/21\/2011 13:34"},{"Comment":"
This cake was awesome, HOWEVER, next time I will use chopped pecans to make it easier to cut and will bake cake on the middle rack of the oven! Be sure to put foil on the rack below the cake because it did boil over a little. This cake was sure a great hit for an anniversary party! tonyjoy<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"04\/21\/2011 13:12","GUID":"10C6B6C5DE6E415C800E6F71FF5102A8","MemberId":300667,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"tonyjoy","SubmittedDate":"04\/21\/2011 13:13"},{"Comment":"

Like Netizen, I would like to try making this from scratch. I would also probably serve it for breakfast, rather than dessert, where it would add calories on top of calories. Instead, it would make a great start to the day, along with coffee or tea. In fact, if I were to make this from scratch, I would probably substitute oat flour or oat bran for part of the flour, just to make sure that my loved ones got some extra goodness in it.<\/p>","CommentId":21,"DateRated":"04\/17\/2011 11:49","GUID":"f306bf27e89f4cbc8b30673a5c1986f1","MemberId":2124672,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"Carollizc","SubmittedDate":"04\/17\/2011 11:49"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":22,"DateRated":"04\/15\/2011 05:18","GUID":"0ddc74873f3146679ae91a975d5983b5","MemberId":5730607,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"sumallory","SubmittedDate":"04\/15\/2011 05:18"},{"Comment":"
Boxed mixes have partially hydrogenated oils\/trans fats. They are NOT healthy.

This was a big hit at my small group meeting. The only thing I would do differently is to chop the pecans. It was hard to cut with the whole pecans--it did not make nice smooth cuts.
