MMMMM--------------------------TOPPING-------------------------------
   1/2 c  Sugar
   1/2 c  Pecans; chopped
     2 ts Ground cinnamon

MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
     1 tb Corn starch
   3/4 c  Milk
   1/4 c  Butter; softened
   1/4 c  Shortening
   1/2 c  Sugar
   1/2 ts Vanilla extract
          Caramel ice cream topping
          - (optional)

 In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7
 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
 Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; add to
 creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beating just until
 combined.

 Pour into 2 greased and waxed paper-lined 9" round baking pans.
 Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over batter. Lightly cut
 through with a knife to swirl.

 Bake @ 350 F/175 C until a toothpick inserted in the center comes
 out clean, 20-25 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to
 wire racks to cool completely.

 For filling, in a small saucepan, combine corn starch and milk
 until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or
 until thickened. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. In a small
 bowl, cream the butter, shortening, and sugar until light and
 fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add vanilla and chilled milk mixture; beat on
 medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 10 minutes.

 Place 1 cake on a serving plate and spread with filling. Top with
 remaining cake. Store in the refrigerator. If desired, serve with
 caramel topping.
