  6. Fold in chopped pecans; divide batter among prepared pans.
  7. Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before frosting.
  8. For icing, beat softened butter and cream cheese until smooth; mix in brown sugar, vanilla, salt, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until fluffy.
