Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray an 8×8 baking pan with cooking spray.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside 1/3 cup (for the second cake part).
3. In another bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, oil and vanilla. Mix well.
4. Add in the flour mixture and the milk, alternately, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
5. Fold in 1 cup of chopped pecans.

10. Serve the cake warm with vanilla ice cream and/or whipped cream.
