1 pkg. (250 g) Philadelphia Brick Cream Cheese, softened

1/2 cup butter, softened

4 cups icing sugar

1 cup walnut pieces, finely chopped

Make It

HEAT oven to 350°F.

BEAT first 5 ingredients with mixer until well blended. Pour into greased and floured 13x9-inch pan.

BAKE 35 min. or until toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. Cool completely.

REMOVE cake from pan; cut crosswise in half. Stack cake pieces on plate, spreading some of the frosting between layers. Frost top and sides with remaining frosting. Press nuts into frosting on sides of cake.

kraft kitchens tips

How to Neatly Frost the Cake

Freeze cake layers about 20 min. before frosting. This helps to set the crumbs on the cut edges of the cake layers so they don't pull up into the frosting. And don't worry if the frosting does not look perfect on the sides of the cake--the nuts will cover any imperfections.

How to Cut the Cake

For ease in cutting, first cut the layer cake lengthwise, then crosswise 8 times.

This is my family's new favourite cake! I used Butter Pecan cake mix instead & substituted plain yogurt for the sour cream. It was so moist, yet fluffy. Will make again & again!

I used butter pecan cake mix, and used pecans instead of walnuts. It's been a hit every time. Looks great and taste even better!

This was my family's favourite cake EVER. I used 2 round pans as well - along with buying Cream Cheese Frosting. Am going to try chocolate/banana next time!
