Neiman Marcus Cake

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven and Prep:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.

2. Prepare the Cake Batter:

• In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
• In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
• Fold in the chopped pecans.

3. Bake the Cake:

• Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
