Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously butter 3 (9 inch) pans. Divide 2 cups chopped pecans evenly between the pans. Shake to coat bottoms and sides of pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter, shortening and 2 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the yolks one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Combine the flour and baking soda and beat into creamed mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans.
- In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold 1/3 of the whites into the batter, then quickly fold in remaining whites until no streaks remain. Divide batter equally into prepared pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Invert layers onto wire racks lined with wax paper. Brush tops and sides of cake layers with 2/3 cup corn syrup, and cool completely.
- Make the Filling: In a large saucepan, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar and cornstarch. Stir in 4 egg yolks, half-and-half, 3/4 cup corn syrup and salt. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat. Continue boiling, whisking constantly for 1 minute, or until thickened. Remove from heat. Whisk in butter and vanilla. Chill.
- Assemble the cake: Place first layer on serving plate, pecan side up. Spread with half of the filling. Place second layer, pecan side up, on filling. Spread with remaining filling. Top with remaining cake layer, pecan side up.

PECAN PIE CAKE
I found this cake in an old Southern Living Cookbook and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I love pecan pie so I knew I would love this. It is a very moist cake. It's not hard to make, but has lots of ingredients. Hope you enjoy. This beautiful picture is also from Southern Living.

- 2. If you notice on the picture, the leaves were made using Pillsbury pie crust and cut out with a cookie cutter. I used Voortmans Maple Leaf Cookies. I just took the filling out and laid them on top of the cake. It turned out pretty. One Thanksgiving, I put a rattan horn of plenty on topped filled with candy corn. It was a big hit.
PECAN PIE CAKE
This cake is seriously yummy. Served hot or cold, it's a great little dessert. We love the sweet and crunchy pecan pie topping. The pecan pie filling cooks into the butter cake giving the dessert a nice, chewy texture. Cut into bars, place on a plate and watch these disappear.

Steps:
- Combine cake mix, 1 egg, and melted butter together; set aside 2/3 cup of this batter.
- Spread the rest into a greased and floured 9 by 13-inch baking pan and bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes until lightly browned.
- Mix reserved 2/3 cup batter with syrup, 3 eggs, brown sugar, vanilla and pecans.
- Pour this filling on top of crust and cook for 50 to 60 minutes at 325 degrees Fahrenheit or until set.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh pecans. If you only have access to pre-packaged pecans, toast them in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to enhance their flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Be careful not to overbake the cake. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch round baking pan. Just be sure to grease and flour the pan thoroughly before adding the batter.
- This cake can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cake for up to 2 months. Just be sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap before freezing.
Conclusion:
Pecan pie cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, buttery flavor and gooey pecan filling, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this pecan pie cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
