Ingredients

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 sticks butter
  • 4 - eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • 2 cups chopped pecans
  • 16 ounces whipped topping
  • 8 ounces whipped topping
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk

How To Make pecan pie cake

  • Step 1
    Cream together the 2 c. sugar, 4 sticks butter, 4 eggs, 1 t. vanilla, and 1 1/2 c. flour. Blend in the 2 c. pecans. Spread into a cookie sheet pan and bake at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes. Cool cake. While cake is still in cookie sheet, cut into roughly 1" squares.
  • Step 2
    Meanwhile, blend together the 16 oz. whipped topping, 8 oz. cream cheese, and the sweetened condensed milk. Set aside.
  • Step 3
    Layer the cake alternately with the cream cheese mixture. I have used both a trifle bowl and and 9 x 13 baking dish; both work equally well. I make about 3 layers of each. If it seems like you might have too much for your chosen container you can make a small separate container. Top with the additional 8 oz. whipped topping. Can sprinkle a few extra chopped pecans as decoration.
