Add the butter mixture and whisk well. Add the vanilla. Pour the icing over the warm cake. Sprinkle the pecans over the frosting. Allow the cake to sit until the frosting is set, about 15 minutes.

  • To serve, place a slice of the cake in the center of each serving plate. Place a scoop of the ice cream in the center of each slice of cake.
