Steps:
- Preheat oven, prepare cake pans: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and line 3 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper, butter parchment paper and lightly dust pans with flour shaking out excess. Set pans aside.
- Saute pecans in butter: Melt 3 Tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once melted add pecans and cook until slightly browned and fragrant, tossing frequently, about 4 minutes. Pour and spread onto a sheet of parchment paper or a baking sheet. Set aside and allow to cool.
- Mix liquids together: stir together buttermilk and milk, set aside.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9x13 baking dish. (I used GOOP, click the recipe in the Notes)
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar together with a hand-held mixer until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, incorporating them into the butter mixture fully. Scrape the sides of the bowl if needed.
- Pour in the buttermilk and vanilla extract. Mix until combined. (Make sure there are no lumps)
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir by hand with a spatula until ingredients are incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake the cake for 30 minutes. Ten minutes before the cake is done, prepare the topping.
- Stir the butter and brown sugar together in a small bowl. (I used a 2 cup measuring cup) Add the buttermilk, chopped pecans, and salt. You should easily be able to pour the glaze.
- When you take the cake out of the oven, immediately pour the pecan glaze all over the cake. Then return it to the oven for 10 more minutes.
- When the cake is done, the glaze should be bubbling and appear runny and seeping into every nook and cranny of the cake.
- Serve warm.
- (If you prefer to serve at room temperature, the glaze will have hardened a bit.)
