How to cook deliciously - Pecan Upside-Down Cake

1. Stage

Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.

2. Stage

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a greased 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, then grease the parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, butter and cinnamon; gently stir in the chopped pecans. Spread this mixture into the prepared pan. Editor's Tip: Yes, you will grease the pan as well as the parchment paper, but this is an important step to being able to flip the cake when it's time. Grease the pan no matter what, even if you are using a nonstick pan.

3. Stage

Next, in a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored. Gradually add the sugar and beat until thick and smooth. In another small bowl, combine milk and vanilla. And in still another small bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add the flour gradually to the yolk mixture, alternating with the milk mixture and beating well after each addition.

4. Stage

Add cream of tarter to egg whites; beat with clean beaters until stiff peaks form. Fold this into the batter, and then pour the entire batter mixture over the pecan mixture.

5. Stage

Bake until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, or about 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for two minutes; run a knife around the outside edge, and then invert onto a serving plate. Serve still warm, with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
