Cake Ingredients
Method
Cake Directions
Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cream Butter and Sugar
In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
Fold in Pecans
Gently fold in the toasted pecans.
Bake the Cake
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Frost or serve as desired.
