1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9-inch layer pans.

Sift flour, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; set aside.

Add flour mixture alternately with milk and vanilla extract, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Blend well after each addition. Fold in 1 1/3 cups pecans. Pour batter into the prepared pans.
