Method:

– Preheat the oven to 325F.

To make the cake mix at your home you will need:
– All-purpose flour – 4 cups
– Granulated sugar – 3 cups
– Baking powder – 2 tablespoons
– Non-fat dry milk – 1 cup

Method:
– Mix all the ingredients in a dry and clean mixing bowl.
– Store the cake mix in an airtight container.
– You can store this mix for months in the pantry.

For icing the cake you will need:
– Chopped pecans – 1 cup
– Butter – 1/4 cup (I use a little salted butter because I like the sweet and salty combination)
– Ready-made cream cheese frosting – 2 1/2 cups

Method:
– Melt the butter in a skillet and lightly fry the chopped pecans in the butter.
– Remove from the heat and add to the ready-made cream cheese frosting.

To assemble the cake:
– Cover the cake with frosting from all sides.

Points to keep in mind:
– Always use the ingredients at room temperature. Thaw the cake mix (if stored in the fridge) to room temperature before using.
– You can store the cake in the freezer for about 2 weeks, but thaw before using.
– If you are going to use the cake immediately, then let it cool in the fridge for about 20 minutes before icing to prevent the crumbs from falling off.
