Ellen’s Homemade Butter Pecan Cake recipe: • Southern Butter Pecan ...
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Spray 2 (9-inch) round cake pans with baking spray and flour (Baker’s Joy or PAM Baking) or grease the pans with butter and flour. Set aside.
For the Cinnamon Toasted Pecans: In a large pan or skillet over medium heat, add the butter and 1/4 cup brown sugar; once melted, add in the chopped pecans and cinnamon, stir to coat and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, set aside, and let them cool completely.
For the Cake: In a medium bowl, add in the cake mix, flour, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and salt (if using); whisk or sift together until well incorporated. Set aside.
In a large bowl with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment, add in the melted butter, eggs, evaporated milk, sour cream, vanilla extract, and maple extract; mix on medium speed until well blended. Slowly add in the cake mix mixture into the butter mixture a little at a time and continue mixing on medium speed until everything is well combined (be careful not to over mix). Add and fold in the toasted cinnamon pecans. Pour the cake batter evenly into the prepared pans, shake and bang the pans to get rid of the air bubbles. Bake for about 25 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cakes from the oven then place them on a cooling rack and let them sit in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then remove the cakes out of the pans allow them to finish cooling on the cooling rack. Once the cakes are cooled, add one cake layer onto a cake stand; frost the top with the brown sugar cream cheese frosting. Then add the second cake layer, frost the top and then frost the sides. Garnish the top with the toasted chopped pecans. Cut them into desired slices, serve and enjoy!
For the Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting: In a medium bowl, sift or whisk together the powdered sugar and salt (if using) and set aside. In a large bowl with hand mixer or stand mixer with whipped or paddle attachment, add the cream cheese and butter; cream on medium speed until fluffy (scrape the bowl occasionally). Next add and mix in the brown sugar and continue mixing until well blended. Add and mix in the evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and maple extract then slowly gradually add and mix in the powdered sugar and salt mixture (start the mixer on low then increase the speed to medium and mix until well combined.
