Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups boiling water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well blended.
  • Add the whole milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until you have a smooth batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly.
  • Sprinkle the chopped pecans and the packed brown sugar over the top of the batter.
  • Carefully pour the boiling water over the top without stirring. This will create a delicious gooey texture as it bakes.
  • Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes. The top should be golden brown, while the bottom remains gooey.
  • Once done, let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. It’s best enjoyed warm, especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
