Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour

• 1 cup Corn syrup
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Whole pecans

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
6. Fold in the chopped pecans.
7. Divide the batter equally between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
11. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the whole pecans.
12. Allow the pecan mixture to cool for 15 minutes.
13. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread half of the pecan mixture on top.
14. Place the second cake layer on top and spread the remaining pecan mixture over it.
15. Let the cake rest for at least 1 hour before serving.
