Bake the cake. Spoon the batter into each cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 - 30 minutes. Place cakes on a wire rack to let them cool to room temperature.
Make the Frosting. Place cream cheese and butter in the bowl of a mixer and whip together until smooth. Add powdered sugar and whip until fully incorporated. Add vanilla extract and continue to whip until fully mixed in.
Assemble. Place one layer of cake on your cake plate and frost the top. Repeat until you have three layers. Use the remaining frosting to cover the entire cake. Press the remaining chopped pecans into the sides of your cake.
