TOASTED BUTTER PECAN CAKE RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour three 9″ round cake pans. In a medium heavy skillet, melt ¼ butter over medium heat. Add pecans; cook until toasted and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Spread across sheet of foil to cool. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine; set aside. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Add flour mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with the flour (flour in 3 parts, milk in 2). Fold in toasted pecans. Divide between cake pans and bake 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack before removing from pans. Cool completely. FOR FROSTING: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla. Beat in enough milk, as necessary, to achieve spreading consistency. Frost cake. Store in refrigerator. Notes You may not need to add any milk to the frosting if it is already soft enough. NOTE: I had barely enough frosting to cover a 3 layer cake with the recipe. Consider making 1½ times the given frosting recipe, especially if piping. NOTE: The cake batter itself seems to be based off the old-fashioned 1-2-3-4 cake (1 cup butter, 2 cups sugar, 3 cups flour, and 4 eggs). That is if you don't count the extra ¼ cup of butter used to toast the nuts. I wasn't completely impressed with it, but I didn't think it was bad (a tad dry). I will say though, if you have a favorite white or yellow cake recipe, you should use that instead and then follow the same step for making the toasted butter pecans, add them in, and absolutely use this frosting recipe. If you want to use your own TWO layer recipe instead of a three, then you'll need to use less pecans, maybe just 1¼ cups would be perfect.

EGGLESS BUTTER PECAN CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F/180C. To make toasted pecans, pour melted butter in a baking sheet. Stir in pecans. Toast for 10 minutes. Stir the nuts once half way. Set aside to cool.
• In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add 1/4 cup silken tofu and beat well. Then add the yogurt and vanilla extract and beat well.
• In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Add the dry mix and milk to the creamed butter/sugar mixture alternately. Basically first some portion of the flour, mix well and then add milk and beat well and do the same for rest of the flour and milk.
• Stir in 1 cup toasted pecans.
• Pour batter into two 8-in.round baking pans lined with parchment paper. First I scooped out 1 cup of batter and put in each of the pans and divided the rest of the batter equally using measuring cups.
• Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Mine was done in 33 minutes. You can see that the cake gets golden brown around the edges and it starts pulling away from the pan.
• Place the pans on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before removing the cakes from the pan. After that cool the cakes completely before frosting.
• In a large bowl cream butter and 3 cups of sugar. Add milk in small increments and vanilla, beating until light and fluffy. Add some more sugar and/or milk depending on the taste and consistency. Stir in remaining toasted pecans. Spread between the layers and over the top and sides of the cake.

BUTTER PECAN COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add eggs, vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
• Add flour, cinnamon powder, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder and mix until just combined.
• Mix in pecans and toffee bits until evenly distributed.
• Chill dough for 30-45 minutes to make it easier to handle.
• Scoop out small portions of the dough and roll into balls. The chilled dough will seem a bit crumbly but the warmth of your hands will help bring the dough together into small balls.
• Optional: Roll each cookie dough ball in a bowl of granulated sugar, if you like. I don't usually do it but my Mom does it.
• Place them on a cookie tray, lined with parchment paper.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for about 11-14 minutes or until cookies are golden brown and firm along the edges. They will be "poofy" in the center and deflate as they cool. If they don't deflate fully to your liking, you can press down gently with the back of a spoon. Enjoy!
