🔗 Recipe adapted from AllRecipes
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small, heavy skillet over medium heat.
Add pecans and cook until toasted, about 4 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool.
Combine white sugar and 1 cup butter in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Beat in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and butter extract.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
Add to creamed butter mixture alternately with milk, beating just until combined.
Fold in pecans.
Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
Beat confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, 2/3 cup butter, 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and almond extract in a large bowl until smooth.
Beat in enough milk to give frosting a spreadable consistency.
Divide hot cake in half and chop 1 half into a large bowl.
Stir in 1/4 of the frosting.
Repeat with remaining half, stirring in an additional 1/4 of the frosting.
Spread mixture back into the baking pan; press flat with your fingers.
Spread remaining frosting over the pressed cake mixture.
Refrigerate until firm, 3 to 4 hours.
