Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups coarsely chopped pecans
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
16 ounces powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
6 ounces white chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup boiling water
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 large eggs, separated
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups sifted cake flour
toasted pecan halves

Steps:

  • To make the frosting:.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet. Add pecans and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until toasted - about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely.
  • Beat cream cheese (11 ounces total) and 1/2 cup butter at medium speed until creamy. Gradually add sugar. Beat until light and fluffy. Stir in buttered pecans and vanilla. Cover and chill at least 1 hour.
  • To make the cake: Place white chocolate in a bowl. Pour boiling water over white chocolate; stir until smooth. Set aside and let cool.
  • In the meantime, grease 3 (9") round cakepans; line with wax paper. Set aside. (See recipe #452719).
  • Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugar, beating well. Add egg yolks, 1 at a time, beating after each addition until blended. Stir in white chocolate and vanilla.
  • Combine buttermilk and soda. Add flour to butter mixture alternately with buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Mix at low speed after each addition until blended.
  • Beat egg whites at high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into batter. Pour batter into prepared pans.
  • Bake at 350° for 20 to 22 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans, and cool completely on wire racks.
  • Spread Butter-Pecan Frosting between layers and on top and sides of cake. Garnish, if desired. Store cake in refrigerator.
