  • 5
    In small microwavable bowl, microwave 3 oz white chocolate and 3 tablespoons cream uncovered on High 1 minute, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth. Cool 10 to 15 minutes.
  • 6
    In medium bowl, beat butter and 2 cups of the powdered sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until blended. Add white chocolate mixture; blend well. Add remaining powdered sugar; beat until smooth. Spread frosting over cake; sprinkle with pecans. Store loosely covered.

  • Toasting pecans or other nuts intensifies their flavor. To toast pecans, heat oven to 350°F. Spread pecans in ungreased shallow pan. Bake uncovered 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until light brown.
  • White chocolate is made from cocoa butter and adds a wonderful rich flavor to this cake. Find white chocolate in the baking section of the grocery store and use half of the 6 oz package (3 squares, 1-oz each) for the cake and half of the package (3 squares, 1-oz each) for the frosting. Melting the white chocolate in the microwave oven is quick and easy, but if you melt it in a pan on the stove, be sure to use very low heat to avoid scorching it.
