    Recipe Introduction


    I entered this delicious cake at the county fair and it won Best Of Show! Definitely a winner!!!

    List of Ingredients




    2/3 cup butter or margarine softened
    1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
    2 eggs
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    2/3 cup milk
    1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 1/3 cups chopped pecans, toasted, divided

    Butter Pecan Frosting
    3 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
    3 cups confectioners' sugar
    3 tablespoons milk
    3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Recipe



    In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
    Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk. Stir in vanilla extract and 1 cup toasted pecans. Pour batter into two greased and floured 8-inch round baking pans.
    Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

    For frosting, cream butter and sugar in a mixing bowl. Add milk and vanilla extract; beat until light and fluffy. Add additional milk if needed. Stir in remaining toasted pecans. Spread between the layers and over the top and sides of cake.
