THE CANDY KITCHEN PECAN PIE CAKE

Boy, does this sound wickedly rich! I found this just browsing on the web a few months ago, but haven't made it yet...but the time to do so is coming:) The recipe sounds like it will produce "chiffony", light layers, with a thick, sticky, and sweet filling; I guess that means small servings and a full week of brutal exercise to afford the calories:) *The recipe states that the filling needs to chill for 4 hours, so I've included that in the prep time; but maybe you could shave off some of that time by making the filling the night before, especially if you plan to try this during the hectic holiday season!*
