Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter



Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.




Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Put aside.


Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.



Add the eggs: Add the eggs one by one, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla and almond extracts.


Mix wet and dry mixtures: Gradually add dry ingredients to butter mixture, alternating with milk and sour cream, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until combined.


Stir in the pecans: Gently fold in the toasted pecans.


Step 2: Bake the Cake



Divide the batter: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.


Bake: Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.


Cool: Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and transfer them to a rack to cool completely.


Step 3: Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting



Beat cream cheese and butter: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.


Add the powdered sugar and vanilla: Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until completely incorporated.


Step 4: Assemble the Cake



Cake Layer: Place a cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a generous amount of cream cheese frosting on top. Repeat with the second and third layers.
