Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13 inch baking pan. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of the dark brown sugar until light and fluffy. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Gradually mix in 1 of the beaten eggs until well combined. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Add the sifted cake flour and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly using a spatula. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Gently pour the remaining beaten egg over the batter, spreading it evenly. (1 minute)

07

Step

Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the dark brown sugar evenly over the egg layer. (1 minute)

08

Step

Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the sugar. (1 minute)

09

Step

Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of dark brown sugar, distributing it evenly. (1 minute)

10

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. (35 minutes)

11

Step

Let the pecan squares cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares. (30 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using browned butter in the base.
Toast the pecans lightly before chopping to enhance their nutty flavor.
A sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top after baking adds a delightful contrast to the sweetness.
