Instructions
00:00 Introduction
Brown the Butter
00:18 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.
Make the Cake
02:45 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.
04:03 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cake flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
04:58 Add browned butter and use an electric mixer to stir on low-speed until thoroughly incorporated.
05:47 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).
07:08 Stir in pecans until well incorporated.
07:20 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.
08:13 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
08:52 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.
09:56 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).
10:42 Add heavy cream and beat on high speed for 30 seconds, until frosting is smooth and silky.
Decorating Cake
11:01 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.
13:33 Bloopers
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

As a 70.year old that was taught to bake cakes at 5 years old by my mother i can say this young lady knows how to bake. Bravo
I made this - turned it into cupcakes for easy eating. I only changed one thing (hold the eye roll!) I toasted the pecans before grinding them. The house smelled divine! I got a whole lot of "best cupcake ever" compliments - thanks for the recipe!
You're welcome! I'm so glad everyone enjoyed them so much! :)
Aqww a guest appearance from Luke! So cute...and he approves of your yummy looking cake🙃
He LOVES a chance to be on camera... and to eat cake 😂
Every recipe that Sam shares is fantastic. They always come out great the first time, every time.
Aw thank you so much! I’m so happy you have been enjoying the recipes!
It’s so true, everything I’ve tried of this young lady’s turns out, and to be truthful my baking skills we subpar ~~and now I am feeling confident. This cake is definitely on my list to make
this recipe is everything you desire in a butter pecan cake. trust me, i made it this weekend!
I need to make this cake! It looks so so good! I love browned butter. My husband said he did not like it. He never tried it, but he did not like it. Okay. So I waited a few weeks and put browned butter on noodles, which I served to him without saying a word. He LOVED those noodles! He kept raving about the "sauce" I put on them. I finally told him what it was and he got that "deer in the headlights look". He now loves browned butter, so he will love this cake too! Those cooling racks are wonderful! I have 2 sets of them and use them a lot. Anyway, I REALLY need to make this cake!
🤣🤣🤣 I'm glad he's finally come around to the wonderful taste of brown butter. :)
I am a February baby, so this will be a perfect treat to myself. Love the camera view from above, very helpful, especially with the browning of the 🧈. I miss the ode to the kitchenaid in the back. In my mind, it is still happening 😢.
Well happy birthday! I appreciate the feedback. :)
I really have been admiring your new mixer. I really love the silicone covered beaters on it. The light I know seems extra, but I think it helps us viewers really see the consistency you're looking for so we don't overmix. Love your videos! Cake looks so delicious!
I'm not going to lie I REALLY love it! And I'm glad that the light is helpful, too! :) Thank you so much for your comment!
Perfection!!! I also love how you add bloopers to the end of the video,its so cute just like Luke 😙
Haha thank you! I am glad you've been enjoying the bloopers, we have plenty of them 😂
Love your printable recipes 😊
This looks so sweet and moist! I can't wait to make it!
I hope you love it! 😊
Looks & sounds amazing!
Thank you! :)
Looks delicious!
Thank you! :)
I cant wait to try this receipe. Great job!
Thank you! I hope you love it!
Made this yesterday: so delicious! And I'm surprised by how the simple addition of brown sugar adds such a nice flavor to the cream cheese icing! Thanks Sam, will make again. (If this helps others, I made it in a 9x13 pan and all the batter fit just fine. Took 28 minutes for the toothpick to come out clean.)
I’m so glad you enjoyed it so much!! Thank you for the feedback using the 9x13. I do get asked about it sometimes. 😊
Love your videos
Thank you so much!
Looks delicious 😋 I will definitely be making it this weekend 👍
Hope you enjoy!
I made this yesterday it came out so good! I had all the Ingredients on hand. Yumm

You always deliver! Your desserts are always delicious! Thank you!

I use your pound cake recipe often. I can now make one without having to refer back to your recipe. Everyone who has tasted it absolutely loves it. I just put one in the oven. I never heard of a Butter Pecan Cake but your cake looks so delicious. I will trying this one soon. Thank You for sharing.
I'm so glad you enjoy the pound cake so much! Hopefully you can master this one the same way! :)
I, can't wait to try this cake. It looks soooo good. Your taste tester is so cute

Well I had no intentions of going to the grocery store tomorrow but after watching this video, I will probably be the first person in the checkout line. Thank you again Sam.
You’re welcome! Enjoy!
I loved this recipe. I will make it for my husband on Father's Day. Thank you, you make it easy to understand the steps to follow.
You’re welcome! I’m so glad you enjoyed it so much! 😊😊
This is my all time favourite Pecan cake❤
So happy to hear this! :)
Oh what a handsome sweet child. The cake looks great .
Another Luke-approved recipe! It looks so good! I have made Brown-Butter Cookies before (with toasted pecans) that were to die for and this cake reminds me of them. Thanks for sharing!
You'll love this one!
This looks delicious Sam, thank you for sharing, so nice to see Luke doing taste testing with Mom ❤
Thanks for watching! Luke LOVES being a part of the videos haha, he is always asking me to film!
@@SugarSpunRun yes bring him on board, I think your subscribers all enjoy seeing his cuteness
I made half the recipe and baked in 9x9 square pan. (didn't need such a big cake) It was very good
Yay! So glad you enjoyed!!
How can I click on the "like" button more than once?
I looooove this recipe! I've watched this several times. Thanks for sharing all these wonders and for taking the time of testing and improving them all.
Regards from the Canary Islands, Spain.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much! :)
Smart kid! ",,,You came here for the important part" Dam skippy he did...
He senses when it’s time to eat! 😂
Luke is so cute and he is getting so big. I still have some of your red velvet cake to eat and then I want to try your millionaire bars so this one will have to wait a bit. But it looks amazing.
Thank you! I hope you love everything! :)
I like to use chopped toffee pcs on top. It just adds more flavor and makes your mouth water even more.
Sounds great! I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Have you thought of doing a browned butter buttercream? I do that a lot to elevate the flavor profile of different cakes. It's sooo good.😋🤤 I will be trying this cake recipe for sure. 😉
Yes, actually! I have a recipe for it on the blog. I tried it with this cake, but I thought it took away a bit from the brown butter flavor of the crumb of the cake, just because the frosting is so flavorful. I really hope you like the cake when you try it!
I can practically taste that cake when you bite into it 🤤
Also, there's a Brown Butter Blondies candle on Amazon 🕯️
It’s so good and I will be heading to Amazon to find this candle right now!!
Your recipes are Devine keep up the good word nd may the Lord be with you nd your family
Thank you so much! I’m so happy you’ve been enjoying them!
Can we brown the butter for the frosting as well? (and I have the same question for the SMBC I always wondered if it's possible 🤲🏼)
Can't wait to give it a try 😻😻😻✋🏼 thank you so much
As you know I am more of a savory guy than sweet. But I've made your soup again and bought the stuff to make the recipe you shared just before this one. That's next after I finish your chicken and rice soup.
I've got a bag of your chocolate chip cookies still in the cupboard so I am good on sweets for awhile.
OH I just remembered I wanted to watch the ending of this video again. I was listening while I cooked when I first heard it and now I wanna see! 😀
Thanks for being such a fan! 🥰
Do you have a toffee pudding recipe by chance? I tried it for the start time the other day and need to try to make it myself. Lol love your videos by the way. I make everything ❤
Unfortunately I do not. :(
I made this cake, followed the recipe exactly. it was very good, easy to make but yes it was very dry. It needs tweaking to make it moist. I didn't get my recipe here but it was the same ingredients, made the same way. She enticed me to watch because she said it was moist. But, don't look for moist if you make this cake.
I’m confused, did you make this recipe from this video or someone else’s?
😋
I think Luke is low-key hiding some immense baking talent. He needs to do some episodes of his own!!! Also, who would this cake pair with a nice rich buttercream frosting?
🤣🤣🤣 I’m not sure much would get made. Probably just be a loop of him eating ingredients. 🤣🤣🤣
@@SugarSpunRun Believe it or not, sometimes that way is much more effective..may require more ingredients but the taste will be paramount!!!
I’m so sorry I missed your question about the buttercream. Yes it will work I just really prefer the cream cheese frosting here
@@SugarSpunRun Not a problem. I think I added that part after your first response. Cheers!!!
Oh my I can basically smell the cake from here! Can these be made into cupcakes?
Sure thing! :)
Does reverse creaming work with every cake recipe? Or is it just particular ones? I love it!
It should work for just about all cakes. :)
Would you talk about your portable cook top in an episode? Thank you
It’s a duxtop brand cook top, I only really use it for videos (the setup for filming on my regular stovetop isn’t ideal) but I’m quite happy with it :)
Hi sam, can i use this recipe to make cupcakes as well?
totally must try this. Can anyone tell me how many grams approximately the weight of the butter after it browned?
I’m new to your site. I’d like to know what the hand held food processor is? It looks perfect. I can’t wait to try this recipe. Thank you
Welcome! I actually just added an affiliate link in the description for the hand held food processor. :)
@@SugarSpunRun thank you again, Its amazing to hear from you, Ive watched other youtube videos and asked questions and No replies. You take the time, I appreciate it so much. Im new to your channel and I just love how simple and uncomplicated you make things. Im loving everything about your channel! Thank you
That was awesome, use all purpose flour or cake flour?
I use cake flour in this one. :)
@@SugarSpunRun thank you, you video's are really great.
I made this today and, although it was really tasty, mine didn’t have the same texture inside as yours.I’m wondering if I chopped my pecans too fine (I used the food processor). I will definitely make this again but will probably leave the pecans in slightly larger pieces.
That may have caused your issue. I’m glad you still enjoyed it. 😊
Can this recipe be used in cupcakes
Try stirring in the confectioner’s sugar before using the mixture…..you don’t have the sugar face! 😁
Thanks for the tip!
Is there any chance to cut some of teh butter amount and add some oil to give the cake more moist please?
You could replace up to all of the butter with oil, but you will lose a LOT of flavor and it's really the star here. It should be a moist cake. If yours came out a little dry, try taking it out of the oven a minute or two sooner. :)
Tiramisu cake next ok Sam!
I actually do have a tiramisu recipe. 😊 ruclips.net/video/3bDmPAAsqnQ/видео.html
@@SugarSpunRun not like this one Sam but an actual cake version using soaked sponge cake layers
Hi. Would this cake work well in a bundt pan?
It could be done but I’m not sure on a bake time.
Will the texture of the cake still turn out the same if you make 2 9inch cakes
The texture shouldn't change. Make sure you don't overfill your pans and your bake time will be different. Enjoy! :)
Can I make your butter pecan cake in 2 9" cake pans
You can, but be sure to not overfill your pans.

If you want a good candle smells real smells it’s called D W candles you will not be disapointed
Stop moving so much your hands, so annoying!
If you don’t like the way I cook you are welcome to move on, nobody is making you watch my videos. To be honest it is a little difficult for me to film because I get nervous but try my best to be helpful to anyone watching. There’s no need to be so rude, I hope you can be kinder with your feedback in the future.
