Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Fold in the chopped pecans.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
-
Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of cream cheese frosting on top. Repeat with the remaining layers.
-
Frost the sides of the cake with the remaining cream cheese frosting. Decorate with additional chopped pecans, if desired.
-
Allow the cake to rest for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
