Time 1h30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ¼ cups butter
2 cups chopped pecans
3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
⅓ cup heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Grease and flour bottoms of three 9 inch layer pans. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Melt 1/4 cup butter in heavy skillet over medium heat. Add pecans and brown 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Sift flour with baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cream remaining butter in large mixing bowl. Gradually add 2 cups sugar; cream at high speed of mixer until light and fluffy. At medium speed blend in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. At low speed add sifted dry ingredients alternately with milk and vanilla extract, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Blend well after each addition. Stir in 1 1/3 cups pecans. Pour batter into pans.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until cake is golden brown and springs back when lightly touched in center. When cool, blend remaining pecans with Creamy Butter Frosting; spread between layers and on top.
  • To Make Creamy Butter Frosting: Cream 1/4 cup butter or margarine in mixing bowl. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, salt, 4 cups confectioners' sugar and 1/3 to 1/2 cup cream. Beat until smooth and of spreading consistency. If necessary, thin with additional cream.
