Continuing on Speed 2, add eggs, one at a time, mixing

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in
small bowl. Add half of flour mixture to sugar mixture in
mixer bowl. Turn to Speed 2 and mix about 30 seconds.
Add buttermilk and remaining flour mixture. Gradually
turn to Speed 6 and beat about 30 seconds. Spread
batter evenly over nut mixture in pans. Bake at 350°F for

To make Filling:

Gradually stir in milk. Heat to boiling over medium heat,
