In reply to Beatriz Talamantes. I've never done this, Beatriz but I don't see why not. You'll still get the flavor without the texture. If you do it I hope you'll stop back and share your experience.

Can I make the pecan filling into a paste by blending? Cake is for an older person who has a hard time chewing

In reply to Meredith. Yikes, it should say you can make your own cake flour with corn starch and not baking powder. Thank you for catching this for me Meredith!

Your instructions for making your own cake flour are NOT correct. That’s how to make self-rising flour, which is NOT THE SAME THING as cake flour.

Cake flour is often sold under the name Swans Down and it will say CAKE FLOUR.

You cannot sub self rising flour for cake flour and expect to get the same result. You’ll have an over-leavened cake.

I love it! I do love pecan pie, and when I first saw that you’d made a cake with the flavors, I was into it. But when I saw that you’d used pecan pie filling in between the layers, I was completely sold!
