Taste of Home® Church Supper Desserts
Toasted Butter Pecan Cake
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter, softened, divided
2-2/3 cups chopped pecans
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup 2% milk
FROSTING:
2 packages (one 8 ounces, one 3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup butter, softened
6-1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 to 2 tablespoons 2% milk
In a small heavy skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add pecans; cook over medium heat until toasted, about 4 minutes. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, cream sugar and remaining butter until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk. Beat just until combined. Fold in 2 cups reserved pecans.
Spread evenly into three greased and waxed paper-lined 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
For frosting, in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter,
confectioners’ sugar and vanilla until smooth. Beat in enough milk to achieve spreading consistency. Spread frosting between layers and over top and sides of cake. Sprinkle with remaining pecans. Store in the refrigerator.
Yield: 12-16 servings.

great cookbook!!! 
April 14, 2012
I am thoroughly enjoying all of my cookbooks - I've been on a roll ordering lately! I particularly like the Taste of Home series as the recipes seem more suited to NORMAL cooking methods and items I might already have on hand. Gourmet cooing may be fine for some occasions but in general my family and friends prefer a more simple approach and these recipes taste as if I slaved away to create them!

I go to many pot luck suppers. There are so many new recipes that are very good I love this book.
