    This Butter Pecan Cake has an incredibly soft and moist texture that simply melts in your mouth! It’s studded with chopped pecans throughout and cloaked in an irresistible brown sugar frosting. Recipe includes a how-to video!

    Southern Butter Pecan Cake

    This butter pecan cake is simply incredible. It is soft, super moist (it literally melts in your mouth), and the flavor is out of this world. You will love how easily it mixes together with the reverse creaming method (first used in my caramel cake and most recently in my peanut butter cupcakes). And don’t even get me started on the brown sugar cream cheese frosting…

    The crumb of this cake is unique and irresistible. It is so fluffy and light, and thanks to the finely chopped pecans, it’s almost a bit crumbly (but in a moist, light way!). The shining flavors of browned butter and nutty pecans are perfectly enhanced by brown sugar and vanilla, and everything is beautifully tied together with the brown sugar frosting (carefully designed to not be too sweet!). It’s the best pairing!

    What you’ll love about my recipe:

    • Takes just over an hour to make.
    • Stunning (yet easy!) final look your guests will love.
    • Cozy and unique flavor–great for mixing up your traditional birthday cake!
    • Incredible texture and crumb.

    What You Need

    Overhead view of ingredients including cake flour, butter, pecans, buttermilk, and more.

    Here are the key ingredients that make this butter pecan cake so special:

    • Cake flour. I don’t recommend using all-purpose flour here, as fine cake flour works better for making the cake crumb light and extra soft. Do make sure you measure your flour properly!
    • Brown sugar. We’ll use light brown sugar in the cake and the icing. Yes, we are also using powdered sugar in the icing, but I promise it’s not too sweet! It’s actually less sugar than standard American buttercream.
    • Buttermilk. Buttermilk keeps this butter pecan cake super tender and moist. If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can use my easy buttermilk substitute.
    • Cream cheese. While there is cream cheese in this frosting, it’s not overpowering. Instead, it keeps the frosting from being too sweet and accents the other flavors of the cake nicely. Use full-fat, brick-style cream cheese.
    • Pecans. Make sure to measure your pecans before chopping them. For ease, I like to chop my pecans in a food processor.

    SAM’S TIP: I don’t toast my pecans before adding them (I just don’t find it necessary here), but you certainly can. I have an easy guide on how to toast pecans, for your reference!

    Remember, this is just an overview of the ingredients I used and why. For the full recipe please scroll down to the bottom of the post!

    How to Make Butter Pecan Cake

    Browning the Butter

    1. Melt and cook – Melt butter over medium-low heat. Increase the heat and cook, stirring frequently, as the butter begins to foam and sizzle.
    2. Let it cool – Once you see brown specks forming on the bottom of the pan, remove the butter from the heat and pour into a heatproof bowl to cool completely.

    Chopping the Pecans

    1. Measure your pecans and place them in the bowl of a food processor.
    2. Pulse until the pecans are fine crumbs, then stop. Set aside 1 ½ cups for the cake and ⅓ cup for the decoration.

    Making the Cake Batter

    Collage of four photos showing cake batter being prepared using the reverse creaming method.
    1. Dry ingredients – Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
    2. Add the browned butter and stir with the mixer on low speed until incorporated.
    3. Wet ingredients – Combine the remaining wet ingredients in a separate bowl, then gradually add them to the dry ingredients, pausing halfway through to scrape the bowl.
    4. Add the pecans and stir until incorporated.

    SAM’S TIP: Don’t stress if you see small lumps in your batter–these are totally normal!

    Making the Cake Batter

    Collage of two photos showing cake batter being portioned into three pans and baked.
    1. Bake – Divide the batter between greased/floured/lined pans and bake for 30 minutes at 350F.
    2. Let the cakes cool in their pans for 15 minutes before inverting onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

    Making the Frosting/Prepping the Cake

    Collage of four photos showing frosting being prepared.
    1. Cream the butter – Beat together the butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
    2. Add the sugar – Gradually add the powdered sugar until combined.
    3. Add the cream – Pause to scrape the bowl, then add the heavy cream.
    4. Whip until smooth and fluffy.

    Decorating

    1. Level and stack your cake layers, adding a thick layer of frosting in between each.
    2. Frost the sides and top of the cake with a thin layer of frosting.
    3. Add pecans on top, if desired.
    4. Decorate the top of the cake with piped frosting swirls.

    SAM’S TIP: If you only have two cake pans, you can let the remaining batter sit covered at room temperature while your first two layers bake. Remember to let your pan cool completely before adding the batter for the third layer!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I make this in a different pan?

    This cake can be made in a 9×13″ pan, but you will have excess batter. Fill your pan โ…” of the way full, then either discard the excess batter or use it to make cupcakes.

    Does butter pecan cake need to be refrigerated?

    Personally I do not refrigerate if I plan on enjoying within two days. If you want your cake to last longer, you can store it in the fridge for up to one week. Butter pecan cake also freezes well.

    Can I use a different frosting?

    My brown butter frosting, caramel frosting, german buttercream, or cream cheese frosting would all be a nice fit for this cake. I highly recommend trying the frosting included here at least once though–it really is the best option!

    Ingredients

    Cake

    • 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter
    • 3 cups (333 g) cake flour
    • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
    • 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar firmly packed
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 ½ cups (354 ml) buttermilk room temperature preferred
    • 2 large eggs room temperature preferred
    • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 1 ½ cups (160 g) pecan halves very finely chopped (see note)

    Icing

    • 1 ½ cups (340 g) unsalted butter softened
    • 6 oz cream cheese softened
    • ⅓ cup (66 g) light brown sugar firmly packed
    • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 4 ½ cups (562 g) powdered sugar
    • 1 Tablespoon heavy cream
    • ⅓ cup (35 g) pecan halves very finely chopped, optional

    Recommended Equipment

    • 3 8” cake pans
    • Mixing bowls
    • Electric mixer

    Instructions

    Brown the Butter

    • Place butter in a medium-sized pan and cook over medium/low heat until butter is melted. Increase heat to just above medium and cook, stirring frequently. Butter will foam, crackle, pop and sizzle. Stir, scraping the bottom of the pan, until you see golden brown specks. Remove from heat and pour into a heatproof bowl. Allow butter to cool completely (it should still be liquid, but should no longer be warm to the touch) before proceeding.
      1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter

    Make the Cake

    • Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and grease 3 8” round baking pans with baking spray. Line the bottoms with rounds of parchment paper to ensure the cakes won’t stick.
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cake flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
      3 cups (333 g) cake flour, 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar
    • Add browned butter and use an electric mixer to stir on low-speed until thoroughly incorporated.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla, then slowly drizzle into the flour mixture. Pause halfway through and at the end to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl (it’s alright if you notice small lumps in the batter).
      1 ½ cups (354 ml) buttermilk, 2 large eggs, 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
    • Stir in pecans until well incorporated.
      1 ½ cups (160 g) pecan halves
    • Evenly divide batter into prepared baking sheets and bake in center rack of 350F oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
    • Allow cakes to cool in their pans for 15 minutes before running a knife around the edge of the cake to loosen it from the pan then carefully invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely. Cakes must be completely cooled before decorating.

    Brown Sugar Frosting

    • Combine butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a large mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to beat until smooth and creamy.
      1 ½ cups (340 g) unsalted butter, 6 oz cream cheese, ⅓ cup (66 g) light brown sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon salt
    • With mixer on low-speed, gradually add powdered sugar until completely combined (pause periodically to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula).
      4 ½ cups (562 g) powdered sugar
    • Add heavy cream and beat on high speed for 30 seconds, until frosting is smooth and silky.
      1 Tablespoon heavy cream

    Decorating Cake

    • Level cakes if needed and decorate with frosting. I did a smooth, light covering for the sides of the cake with thicker frosting in between layers and on top of the cake. To decorate the top, I recommend using an Ateco 846 or Ateco 848 tip. If you’d like, finely chop another ⅓ cup of pecans and layer them over the top of the cake (don’t go all the way to the edge) before adding the frosting swirls around the edge.
      ⅓ cup (35 g) pecan halves

    Notes

    Pecans

    Measure pecans before chopping. To get my pecans very fine, I toss them in the food processor and pulse until they are fine. Do not pulse too far, or you’ll turn them into nut butter!

    Baking Pans

    If you only have two round pans, bake your first two layers and leave the remaining batter covered in the mixing bowl. Allow the cake pan to cool before adding the remaining batter and cooking your final layer.

    Storing

    Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator, tightly covered, for up to a week. This cake may also be wrapped tightly and frozen

      I made this into cupcakes yesterday, and they were incredible. Nutty and yum. The frosting was even better. The hint of brown sugar was just the right touch of something different. I loved it! I did have a question about the reverse creaming method, though. My batter ended up with little lumps of butter/brown sugar still remaining (before I added the pecans) and I’m wondering how long I can safely beat it to try and get rid of them without ruining the crumb of the cake. I got scared and mashed some of them with a fork and then just left the rest. In the video, you said some lumps were normal, but I guess I’m just wondering how many is normal and if they just melt into the cake. I’ve never done reverse creaming method before and I’m a little freaked out by the whole thing.

        Hi Anna! It really just depends on your particular situation. It’s tough to give an exact time. Make sure your butter is soft enough. The best advice I can give is to see how it looks in the video. You can see how it looks, and as long as your butter/sugar mixture looks similar then you should be good to go. ๐Ÿ™‚

      I made this today and was very happy with the cake. Itโ€™s a nice change of pace with familiar flavors just a little bit different. I normally am a vanilla cake type but wanted to try this out. It has a nice fall like flavor without spices. It reminds me of caramel a little with the brown sugar in the frosting. The texture of the cake is crumblier than most that I usually bake but I agree with Sam that it is very nice. I halved the recipe and baked all the batter in my King Arthur 8×8 square pan for 35 minutes and it seems perfect. I also added a bit of cream with the brown sugar in the frosting because I was worried it would be gritty, but it wasnโ€™t gritty at all. My only change was adding a little bit more cream to the frosting because I love a billowy frosting over a pipeable one. Iโ€™ll try the pistachio cake next.

      The cake is really delicious! I also followed the recipe, as written, for the frosting (really, I did!), but it is not as firm as yours (although still delicious). I did use my stand mixer for the frosting (arthritic hands), so I’m wondering if maybe I mixed it too much(?). Can you give me a tip so it would be somewhat firmer? I didn’t bother trying to decorate this time, since my frosting was somewhat on the ‘runnier’ side.

        I’m glad you enjoyed it! The frosting could have needed a little more powdered sugar, or if your butter was really soft it could cause this as well.

      I am hoping to use this recipe as part of a 50th Birthday cake, but tiered with a chocolate layer as well sort of a wedding cake but not. Do you think the Butter Pecan cake will stand up to the weight of high layers – 6inch by 3 inch deep?

      Thanks so much,

      The Butter Pecan Cake tasted great but the cake texture was crumbly and didn’t hold together well. I think it had too much of the ground pecans and would make it again with less than a cup and a half.

        The texture does have a different crumb than traditional cakes that you may notice when you cut it, as in you won’t get a clean slice with defined edges, it’s actually one of my favorite things about it (I talk about it in the post and video), the texture is so unique and melt in your mouth. BUT it shouldn’t be crumbly as in dry. If it was dry I would just check the baking temp. I hope that helps!

          Hi Sam,

          Finally someone I follow and make so many recipes from has made my childhood favourite, butter pecan, thank you. My mom always made it for me every year for my birthday with an almond icing, so good. She used a box mix and as I bake alot I wanted to find a homemade version. Just wondering if I wanted almond icing I would just change the extract from vanilla? Iโ€™m not sure if the brown sugar is still okay in there. Could I make this recipe in three 6โ€ pans? I just made your overnight cinnamon buns (itโ€™s a monthly request around here) and your Italian Crรจme cake is my personal favourite. I canโ€™t wait to bake this butter pecan. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

        • Sam

          November 30, 2023 at 2:03 pm

          Hi Jan! So sorry I didn’t see this sooner. Yes you could absolutely substitute the vanilla extract for almond (or reduce the vanilla to 1/2 teaspoon and use up to 1 teaspoon of almond. Using all almond will give you a brighter flavor but a blend of the two gives you a more mellow, rounded-out flavor, so take your pick.). Almond extract can be quite potent so I do recommend starting with less (I’d start with 1/2 teaspoon) and then add more to taste.
          While the recipe could be made in 3 6″ pans, you will likely have some batter left over (great opportunity to make a few cupcakes!) and to be honest I really am not sure how long it would take to bake. Thank you so much for trying my recipes, I really appreciate it!

      Question please…
      Can I make this recipe as written in a 9×13 sheet pan? Can’t wait to try this recipe!

        Hi Maria! This should fit in a 9 x 13. It may make a little bit extra batter so make sure to not fill the pan more than 2/3 of the way full. ๐Ÿ™‚

          I think I did something wrong but I am not sure what. The cake itself wasnโ€™t sweet which is such a bummer because it turned out so moist!! The icing was excellent as well.

          Hmmm that’s interesting. Is there a chance you mis-measured or left something out? Happens to me more than I care to admit. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

        Hi Shirley! It should work in a 9 x 13. It may make a little excess batter so make sure not to fill the pan more than 2/3 of the way full. ๐Ÿ™‚
