directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Butter and flour three nine inch round baking pans, then set aside.
Cream the butter until creamy, add the sugars and cream further. Add eggs one at a time waiting for previous added egg to be fully incorporated into mixture. Scrape in between additions. Cream until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add one fourth of the flour and combine, and then add a third of the milk and combine. Repeat with flour and milk until all is incorporated.
Divide the batter evenly into the prepared pans and place in the oven. Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes or until the center bounces back when gently pressed or an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Let sit for 10 minutes before removing from pan. Let cool.
For the icing, bring to a boil the butter, brown sugar and evaporated milk while constantly stirring. Boil for 2 minutes and remove from heat. Let sit covered for 5 minutes. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla and pecans. Then, whip to a smooth icing.
Spread the icing over the cakes and if desired decorate with chocolate shavings obtained by first placing a chocolate bar for 2 hours in a warm room. Then using a grater or vegetable peeler make large chocolate curls.
