Ingredients

  • 6 slices maple-smoked bacon
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans
  • 2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup real maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 box (16.25 oz) Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ White Cake Mix
  • 1 container (8 oz) sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. In 12-inch skillet, cook bacon until crisp; drain on paper towels. Tear bacon into pieces; set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons drippings in skillet. Meanwhile, in 13x9-inch pan, melt butter in oven.

    Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; run knife around sides of pan to loosen cake. Place heatproof serving plate upside down on pan; turn plate and pan over. Let pan remain over cake 1 minute so pecan mixture can drizzle over cake. Remove pan; sprinkle cake with bacon. Serve warm.
