3 tablespoons unsalted butter , softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs , room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup low-fat sour cream , room temperature
FOR THE FROSTING:
1 cup fat-free evaporated milk
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup pecans , toasted (see note) and chopped fine
