Instructions

  1. Melt 1 cup unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat until golden specks form, stirring often. Cool completely.

  4. Add the cooled browned butter to the dry mixture and beat with a mixer until blended. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla before adding to the mixture and folding in the chopped pecans.
  5. Divide the batter among the prepared pans and bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before frosting.
  6. For icing, beat together softened butter and cream cheese, adding light brown sugar, vanilla, salt, and powdered sugar gradually until fluffy.
