Steps:
- For the vanilla cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat three 6-inch-round cake pans with cooking spray and line the bottoms with parchment paper; spray the parchment and dust the pans with flour, tapping out the excess.
- Whisk the baking powder, salt and 3 cups flour together in a bowl until combined. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium, then beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla. (The mixture may look separated at this point.) Beat in the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the milk and ending with the flour, until just smooth.
- Divide the batter among the prepared pans. Bake until the cakes are lightly golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the middles comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges of the pans and turn the cakes out onto the racks to cool completely. Remove the parchment.
- For the buttercream: Mix together the confectioners' sugar and butter in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Mix on low speed until well blended, then increase speed to medium and beat for another 3 minutes.
- Add vanilla and cream and continue to beat 1 minute more, adding more cream if needed for spreading consistency.
- Trim the tops of the cakes with a long serrated knife to make them level, if desired. Spread frosting on each layer, stack layers and cover with frosting.

Steps:
- Prepare the pecans: Preheat the oven to 350°.
- Put the 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of butter in a shallow baking pan with the chopped pecans and put the pan in the oven for 15- 20 minutes, stirring the pecans and melted butter every few minutes, until the fragrance is wonderfully toasty.
- Watch carefully near the end to avoid burning.
- Remove from pan and set aside.
- Grease and flour three 8 or 9-inch round layer cake pans.
- Prepare the cake: In the large bowl of an electric mixer, cream the 3/4 cup (1 1/2) sticks of butter.
- Beat in the 2 cups of sugar, creaming well.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Add the 2 teaspoons of vanilla to the milk.
- Beat the flour mixture into the batter in thirds, alternating with the milk mixture.
- Fold in 1 1/3 cups of the butter-toasted pecans into the cake batter.
- Divide batter equally into the prepared pans.
- Bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Cool and remove from pans.
- Prepare the frosting: Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over low-medium heat and stir in the flour.
- Stir until all of the flour has been moistened or at least colored a little by the butter.
- Stir in the milk just a little at a time, stirring constantly and incorporating all the milk each time before adding more, working to incorporate all the flour and avoid lumps.
- Continue until all the milk is in and the mixture is thickened and smooth.
- Transfer to the small bowl of an electric mixer, and beat to remove any lumps you missed.
- Cool completely.
- When the flour mixture is cool, beat in the teaspoon of vanilla, then the softened butter.
- Add the 1 cup of sugar, and beat 2 minutes at medium speed, until the mixture is fluffy and no graininess from sugar remains.
- Fold in the fat-free Cool Whip and the remaining 2/3 cup of butter-toasted pecans.
- Fill and frost the top of the cake.
