BUTTER PECAN CAKE
This is one of the best cakes I have ever had! It was so good in fact, that I had to get it out of the house so I would not eat it all! I did, however, add ½ cup more pecans so that I would have some for the icing. Also, if you prefer thick icing (like I do) you might want to double the icing recipe.
