TOPPING:
- 1 cup pecans toasted finely chopped

Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 350 degrees F.
- Prepare 4 9-inch round cake pans. Add parchment paper inside and lightly spray them with baking spray. Set aside.
- CRUNCH TOPPING
- Melt Butter
- In a food processor, pulse vanilla wafers to a fine crumb and set aside.
- Pulse walnuts to a fine chop, and set aside.
- Add cookie crumbs and walnuts to a medium bowl. Add brown sugar and stir together.
- Add melted butter, and stir to combine.
- Place mixture into a pie dish. Bake with the cake layers, at the same time, for the same amount.
- PUMPKIN CAKE:
- Add sugar and butter to a large bowl and beat for about 5 minutes until light and fluffy, scraping the sides and bottom of bowl frequently.
- Add pumpkin puree and the rest of the ingredients, except the eggs. Beat just until blended.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, and beat on low-medium speed just until blended.
- Divide the batter equally into the prepared cake pans, smooth the tops with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow cake layers to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack and allow to completely cool before assembling.
- CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
- Add the cream cheese and butter to a large bowl and beat until smooth and creamy.
- With the mixer on low, slowly add in the confectioner's sugar and vanilla and mix well. If the frosting is too runny, add more confectioner's sugar. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before using.
- ASSEMBLY:
- Start with a cake stand and place a cardboard round cake paper on top. Add 1/3 cup of frosting and spread it.
- Level its layers using a cake leveler or a sharp serrated knife. Place one layer on the cake stand.
- Add the frosting and spread it in an even layer.
- Repeat with the remaining layers.
- Use the remaining frosting to cover the cake entirely, the top and the sides.
- Crumble the baked TOPPING mixture.
- Add the TOPPING crumbs to the edges and top of the cake.
- Chill it for 3-6 hours before serving, for the frosting to set.
