Time 1h10m

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 large pear, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped pecans
1 1/2 cups Original Bisquick™ mix
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup milk or water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon ground mace or cinnamon
1 egg
Whipped cream, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. In 9-inch round or 8-inch square pan, melt butter in oven. Sprinkle 1/4 cup brown sugar evenly over melted butter. Arrange pear slices in single layer on sugar mixture; sprinkle with pecans.
  • In medium bowl, beat remaining ingredients except whipped cream with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on medium speed 4 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour batter over pear slices and pecans.
  • Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately place heatproof serving plate upside down over pan; turn plate and pan over. Leave pan over cake a few minutes so brown sugar mixture can drizzle over cake; remove pan. Cool at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with whipped cream. Store cake loosely covered.
