Toasted Pecan Cake 

(from Melissa Buell’s grandma)

3 tbs. butter              

 2 cups chopped pecans                  

2/3 cup butter                    

1  cup sugar  

1 ½ tsp vanilla                     

2 eggs                    

2 cups flour                          

1 ½ tsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt                              

2/3 cup milk

Toss pecans in shallow pan with 3 tablespoons butter. Toast in 350* oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cream together softened butter and sugar until fluffy, add vanilla and beat. Add eggs. Add dry ingredients alternating with milk. Fold in 1 2/3 cups of pecans. Pour into greased cake pans and bake 25-30 minutes.

Frost when completely cool adding remaining pecans to frosting.  (I used cream cheese frosting.)
