(Decadent Pecan Pie Layer Cake Recipe)
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups chopped toasted pecans
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
2 1/2 cups firmly packed dark brown sugar
4 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups whole milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pecan Pie Filling:
1 cup chopped pecans
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
Brown Sugar Frosting:
3/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened and divided
4 1/2 to 5 cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray two 9-inch cake pans with cooking spray, line with parchment paper, and lightly spray the parchment.
Sprinkle chopped pecans at the bottom of each pan.
Beat butter and dark brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy (3-4 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Alternately add flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat in vanilla.
Divide batter between prepared pans. Bake for 32-36 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Make the filling: Combine all filling ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Simmer and stir for about 3 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
Spread pecan filling on one cake layer, then top with the second layer.
Make the frosting: In a saucepan, bring brown sugar, water, and salt to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add 1/2 cup butter; stir until melted. Cool to room temperature. Beat this mixture with remaining butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Beat in milk. Frost the top and sides of the cake.
