Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the self-rising flour, melted butter, and ground pecans and spread the mixture in a 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Bake for 7 to 10 minutes at 400°F.
- Let the cake cool before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider toasting the ground pecans before adding them to the batter. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour and add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. This cake works well with a drizzle of caramel sauce on top for added sweetness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Temptation Cake warm or at room temperature, dusted with powdered sugar for a beautiful presentation. It pairs nicely with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a delightful combination, consider serving it alongside a slice of Sweet Potato Casserole for a delightful contrast of flavors.

Store any leftover Temptation Cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you want to keep it fresh for longer, refrigerate it for up to a week. To reheat, simply place individual slices in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds until warm.
