Southern Pecan Caramel Cake

4. Assemble the Cake

1. Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a generous layer of caramel filling over the top.
2. Add the second cake layer and repeat with the caramel filling. Place the final cake layer on top.
3. Apply a thin crumb coat of frosting around the cake to seal in any loose crumbs. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to set.
4. Frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting, smoothing it with an offset spatula.

5. Add the Garnish

1. Press the toasted pecans into the sides of the cake for a decorative and flavorful touch.
2. Drizzle any leftover caramel over the top of the cake for extra indulgence.
