Ingredients:

Serving

3 tbsp butter
1 cup pecans, chopped ( i use 1 cup. in the cake, and 1 cup. in the frosting = 2 cup.)
2/3 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup milk
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp butter, softened
3 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tbsp milk
3/4 tsp vanilla extract
pecans, toasted

Directions:

Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a 13x9x2 inch baking pan; stir in pecans and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes; cool.
Cream softened butter in a large mixing bowl; gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy and sugar is dissolved.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
Stir in vanilla and 1 cup pecans, reserving remaining pecans for Butter Pecan Frosting.
Pour batter into 2 greased and floured 9 inch cakepans; bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until cake tests done.
Cool layers in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans, and cool completely.
Spread top and sides of cooled cake with Butter Pecan Frosting
Makes one 2-layer cake.
Butter Pecan Frosting:
Cream butter; add sugar, milk and vanilla, beating until light and fluffy.
Stir in reserved toasted pecans.
Makes enough frosting for one 2-layer cake, but I like doubling the ingredients.
