Lane Cake Filling

The Lane Cake Filling is a classic Southern dessert staple that’s rich, creamy, and utterly decadent.

This luscious mixture of butter, confectioners’ sugar, and marshmallow creme is simply irresistible, and the addition of crunchy pecans adds a delightful textural twist.

A dreamy filling for cakes, pastries, or simply enjoyed on its own!

Ingredients

• 1 cup (200g) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 3/4 cups (210g) confectioners’ sugar
• 1/2 cup (120g) marshmallow creme
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup (60g) chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and confectioners’ sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the marshmallow creme until well combined.

Add the pure vanilla extract and mix until smooth.

If using pecans, fold them into the mixture until they’re evenly distributed. Divide the filling into six equal portions, about 1/4 cup each, and use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

Softened butter is key here, so make sure to take it out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before starting.

If you’re using pecans, toast them in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to bring out their flavor and texture.

Don’t overmix the butter and confectioners’ sugar, or you’ll end up with a too-airly filling.

If you’re not using the filling immediately, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent air from reaching it.

Refrigerate for up to 1 week, but give it a good stir before using.
