TOASTED BUTTER PECAN CAKE RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour three 9″ round cake pans. In a medium heavy skillet, melt ¼ butter over medium heat. Add pecans; cook until toasted and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Spread across sheet of foil to cool. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine; set aside. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Add flour mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with the flour (flour in 3 parts, milk in 2). Fold in toasted pecans. Divide between cake pans and bake 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack before removing from pans. Cool completely. FOR FROSTING: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla. Beat in enough milk, as necessary, to achieve spreading consistency. Frost cake. Store in refrigerator. Notes You may not need to add any milk to the frosting if it is already soft enough. NOTE: I had barely enough frosting to cover a 3 layer cake with the recipe. Consider making 1½ times the given frosting recipe, especially if piping. NOTE: The cake batter itself seems to be based off the old-fashioned 1-2-3-4 cake (1 cup butter, 2 cups sugar, 3 cups flour, and 4 eggs). That is if you don't count the extra ¼ cup of butter used to toast the nuts. I wasn't completely impressed with it, but I didn't think it was bad (a tad dry). I will say though, if you have a favorite white or yellow cake recipe, you should use that instead and then follow the same step for making the toasted butter pecans, add them in, and absolutely use this frosting recipe. If you want to use your own TWO layer recipe instead of a three, then you'll need to use less pecans, maybe just 1¼ cups would be perfect.

Steps:
- 1. Using toasted pecans instead of fresh out of the bag, REALLY ENHANCES THE NUTTY PECAN FLAVOR. PLACE PECANS FOR BOTH THE CAKE & FROSTING ON A SHALLOW BAKING SHEET IN A SINGLE LAYER IN PREHATED 350 DEGREE OVEN AND TOAST FOR 10 TO 15 MINUTES. Remove from oven & allow to cool. LOWER OVEN TEMPERATURE TO 325 DEGREES F FOR THE CAKE.
- 2. This recipe requires a large capacity Bundt pan. Mine was 16 cup, or you may want to divide batter into 2 smaller pans. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. This is the Butter pecan flavoring I used.
- 3. Cream the butter, margarine and cream cheese together in mixing bowl until creamy and smooth. Add both sugars and beat until no visible grains are visible in batter. At least 10 minutes.
- 4. Add eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition.
- 5. Sift flour and baking powder & butterscotch pudding into a medium size bowl. Add about 1/3 of cake flour mixture to cake batter alternately with milk, in 3 intervals, until all the flour and milk has been added to batter. Then add in the butter pecan, butter & vanilla Bean paste or extract and beat until blended together.
- 6. Prepare cake pan by spraying generously with Bakers Joy, or grease pan with butter and dust lightly with flour. Pour cake batter into cake pan, leaving at least 1 1/2 to 2 inches from top of pan.
- 7. Place in preheated 325 degree F. oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours or until tooth pick inserted in center comes out clean.
- 8. Remove from oven and allow cake to sit in pan about 10 minutes then invert onto a wire rack and allow to cool completely. Notice how cake rose above top of cake pan.
- 9. Prepare the frosting by combining all of the frosting ingredients except the powdered sugar in a medium size bowl. Use powdered sugar only if frosting is not stiff enough to adhere to cake. When cake is completely cooled, frost cake, and garnish top of cake with additional nuts if desired.
