Southern Pecan Pie Cake



Run, don’t walk, to the grocery store to get the ingredients for this yummy dessert. Trust me, you won’t be sorry! If you love pecan pie and you love trifles, then you will love this.  I think the title is a little misleading, because it comes together more like a trifle.  However, I can't come up with an alternate title to replace it with.  Just make it, you'll see.  It's AMAZING!

2 sticks Butter
2 cups Sugar
1-½ cup Self-Rising Flour
4 whole Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla
2 cups Chopped Pecans
1-16 Oz. Package Whipped Topping
1-14 Oz. Can Sweetened Condensed Milk
8 ounces of cream cheese

Cream butter and sugar; add flour, eggs, vanilla, and pecans. Stir by hand until well combined. When it's all combined, you might be a little confused because it doesn't really look like cake batter.  And you'll double check the recipe because you think you missed an ingredient.  But don't worry, you didn't.  It will be okay!  Spread the batter into a greased, glass 9 x 13 dish and bake 30-40 minutes at 350 degrees.

While the cake is cooling, mix together whipped topping, sweetened condensed milk, and cream cheese until combined. Crumble cake. Layer half of the cake crumbs, followed by half of the frosting mixture. Repeat. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve
