Tantalizingly Delicious You Wont Believe How Easy it is to Make a Butter Pecan Cake
Ingredients
Making a butter pecan cake starts with the ingredients. You will need all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, unsalted butter, light brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, buttermilk, and chopped pecans.
Mix the Batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract. Add the dry ingredients in three parts, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat until just combined. Fold in the pecans.
Bake the Cake
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (176 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. Divide the batter evenly between the pans. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Assemble the Cake
Once the cakes have cooled, place one layer on a cake stand or serving plate. Spread with your favorite frosting. Place the second layer on top. Spread a thin layer of frosting around the sides of the cake. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake. Sprinkle with chopped pecans, if desired.
