For an extra crunchy topping, consider finely chopping additional pecans and sprinkling these over just the top of the cake.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Swap the maple: <\/strong>Butter pecan cake is superb with maple. Swap out the vanilla extract for pure maple syrup for a distinctly maple flavoring.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spike the frosting:\u00a0<\/strong>For an adults-only party add bourbon to the frosting. Just a few teaspoons of it (add additional sugar if you need to) will give it a deep, boozy flavor that compliments the sweetness of butter pecan cake.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Butter Pecan Cake<\/h2>\n<p>While you can keep it on the counter for a few days, it really does taste best when kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It&#8217;ll last for seven full days this way.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make butter pecan cake ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>This layer cake is relatively easy to make ahead of time, but we recommend doing so in seperate parts. First, keep the layers separately wrapped in aluminum foil. Next, keep the frosting in an airtight container, also in the fridge. To assemble the cake, take the frosting out first and allow it to come to room temperature. Remove the cake layers and then spread with frosting.<\/p>\n<h2>Butter Pecan Cake Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2057522\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Butter-Pecan-Cake_TOHD24_7648_SoniaBozzo_7.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Butter Pecan Cake On Cake Stand\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Sonia Bozzo for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What goes well with butter pecan cake?<\/h3>\n<p>This traditional southern cake goes so well with both vanilla and maple. Serving this decadent cake with a scoop of simple homemade ice cream (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/best-ever-vanilla-ice-cream\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/best-ever-vanilla-ice-cream\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">this custard ice cream<\/a> is a total treat!) makes for a delightful pairing. Drizzle both the cake and ice cream with a thread of pure maple syrup for extra decadence.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to serve this as part of a southern-inspired meal, peruse these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/ultimate-recipes-for-southern-comfort-food\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/ultimate-recipes-for-southern-comfort-food\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">iconic southern recipes<\/a> or consider making a hearty <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/southern-seafood-gumbo\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/southern-seafood-gumbo\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">southern seafood gumbo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I frost a cake without it crumbling?<\/h3>\n<p>It can be tricky to keep a cake from crumbling. We recommend frosting a cake when it&#8217;s cool but the frosting itself is room temperature and easily spreadable. Additionally, if you frost the top of the cake first you can push the icing across the cake without pulling up too many crumbs. Using a metal frosting spatula as opposed to a rubber one is especially helpful, too.<\/p>\n<h3>Why is my cake dry and crumbly?<\/h3>\n<p>A dry cake is often a sign of over-baking or an oven that&#8217;s just too hot. Try lowering the temperature slightly and be sure to remove your cake as soon as it&#8217;s done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pecans and butter give this cake the same
