Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ¼ cups butter, softened
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

Steps:

  • Grease and flour the bottoms of three 9 inch layer pans. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

This cake was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more butter or oil next time.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think next time I would use less sugar in the frosting.
