Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 8" cake pans, set aside.
- 2. Melt about 3 tablespoons of butter into a cookie sheet. Add chopped pecans and bake for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from oven and set aside.
- 3. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- 4. Sift flour, then measure for accuracy. Sift again. Stir in baking powder and salt.

- 6. Divide batter evenly between the two cake pans. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle of cake comes back clean and cake springs back when touched. Remove from oven and cool in pan for about 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely. Frost between layers, top and sides.
- 7. FOR THE FROSTING: Mix together sugar and butter. Add milk a little at a time until desired spreading consistency is reached. Stir in flavorings and remaining pecans. Spread on completely cooled cake.
SOUTHERN PECAN CAKE
Because pecan trees are such an iconic symbol in Texas, this recipe is a classic in any Southern home. I remember eating this cake as a baby, even picking the pecans myself from the trees in my grandmother's backyard. When I chose to enter it in at the County Fair, my grandmother gave her coveted recipe secrets to me. And, now, this award-winning cake can be enjoyed in your home, too!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
- Mix butter, milk, coconut milk, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl. Combine flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Slowly mix into the milk mixture. Add egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Divide batter between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake cakes in the preheated oven until tops are golden yellow and spring back when lightly pressed, 25 to 30 minutes.

- Remove frosting from heat and let cool. Remove cakes from the oven and set aside to cool, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Place 1 cooled cake layer on a serving plate. Cover with some of the cooled frosting. Top with the second cake layer. Frost top and sides with remaining frosting.
