Next, while the cake is finished, make the icing. Add butter to a saucepan, and let it melt. Then, add the sweetened condensed milk and chopped pecans. Stir consistently so it does not get stuck to the bottom of the pan. Remove the icing and pour it directly onto the cake. Let it cool for about an hour or until the icing is sealed and set before serving.

Overall, it’s a super moist and rich cake that would be great for large gatherings or for those that love pecans. It’s interesting how there are many different kind of sheet cakes.
