Ingredients:

For the Topping:

• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Cake:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup buttermilk

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Topping:
   • In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
   • Add the brown sugar, honey, and salt, stirring until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
   • Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
   • Arrange the pecan halves on top of the caramel mixture.
3. Make the Cake Batter:
   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
   • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
   • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
   • Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
4. Assemble and Bake:
   • Carefully pour the cake batter over the pecan topping in the cake pan, spreading it evenly.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
   • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
5. Invert and Serve:
   • Run a knife around the edges of the cake to loosen it, then place a serving plate over the top of the pan and invert the cake onto the plate.
   • Remove the pan and parchment paper, allowing the caramel and pecans to drizzle over the cake.
   • Serve warm or at room temperature, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
