Step 1

Preheat oven to Generously grease 2 9-inch cake pans with shortening and lightly dust with flour. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, toss pecan chips with melted butter and cinnamon.

Step 3

Place in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350 for 6 minutes, flipping halfway. Pecans should be fragrant & slightly crunchy when removed from the oven. They will become crunchier as they cool.

Step 4

Let pecans cool on the pan once cooled, removed 1/2 cup of pecans, and blend in a food processor until creamy. Set aside until ready to use.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 6

In a large bowl, cream together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter.

Step 7

Mix in eggs and egg yolk.

Step 8

Mix in vanilla extract, maple extract, and sour cream.

Step 9

Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk.

Step 10

Once batter is combined and fluffy, stir in the pecan butter and 1/2 cup of the butter pecan chips (reserve the other 1/2 cup for the frosting)

Step 11

Pour batter evenly into prepared pans and bake for 25-28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (may need more or less time so check on it at the 25-minute mark)

Step 12

Allow the cakes to cool in the pan until the pans are cool enough to touch, and then carefully, remove them from the pans and allow them to cool completely on a cooling rack.

Step 13

In a large bowl, cream together cream cheese, and butter.

Step 14

Add brown sugar and mix until fluffy and light. (The brown sugar should be completely mixed in and creamy without a gritty texture)

Step 15

Mix in vanilla extract, maple extract, and a pinch of salt.

Step 16

Gradually mix in powdered sugar until frosting is smooth and creamy.

Step 17

Frost cooled cakes.
