Comment préparer Spiced Pecan Cake With Pecan Icing

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Stir in the pecans.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cake is cooling, prepare the icing:
In a medium bowl, beat the butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
Stir in the pecans and vanilla extract.
Once the cake is completely cool, frost it with the pecan icing.
