Pecan Pie Cake

Pecan Pie Cake

This Pecan Pie Cake is perfect for your holiday get-togethers! Brown sugar cake layers and buttercream filled with traditional pecan pie filling.

Pecan pie is my favorite Fall pie. It beats out apple pie (narrowly) and demolishes pumpkin pie (which I actually don’t like at all — it’s a texture thing).

We never had pecan pie growing up, or any kind of Fall pie or dessert to be honest. I must have been in my 20’s before I had pecan pie for the first time. I’ll be honest that it never really appealed to me before I had it. The filling looked weird, and I imagined the texture to be very unpleasant. Holy crap did I ever miss out. It is amazing!!

Since I missed baking cakes and wasn't in a mood for a pie, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to take all that is delicious about pecan pie and transform it into a beautiful cake.
