Folks usta f9ight for the corners as they had nore frosting than the rest. I remember waking up one time on Christmas eve before daylight sneaking to the kitchen passing the presents um touched to swipe 2 corners ofn mama's pecan cake she had prepared for the Christmas dinner. The spanking was almost worth it the next morning for the amazing cake:). My mom was good about recipes and I have most of her favorites but she is gone now aS IS ALL THE OLD GALS WHO KNEW IT. Any one knows of anything that sounds similar I would be eternally grateful. I have experimented many times with ingredients but have never gotten it exactly right.:help:

Use Duncan Hines yellow BUTTER recipe cake mix. Follow directions and bake in rectangular pan.
Your icing;
12 oz of evaporated milk
2 sticks of melted butter
1 1/2 cups of sugar
1 cup of toasted pecans chopped
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1/4 teaspoon of salt
Combine milk, sugar and bring to very slow boil for 10 minutes. Add butter and rest of ingredients cook for additional 3 minutes. Pour over warm, baked cake. Should do it. |
