Step 3: Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 4: Prepare the Frosting
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. Mix in the vanilla and salt until fully combined.
Step 5: Frost and Garnish
Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top. Sprinkle with additional chopped pecans for garnish.
Step 6: Serve
Slice into squares and serve at room temperature. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
