My mom made this cake for my brother every year for his birthday when we were growing up. It is a very comforting, old-fashioned and delicious cake. Ingredients:
3 cups sugar |
5 1/3 fluid ounces evaporated milk |
1/3 cup water |
1/2 cup crisco |
1 cup butter (2 sticks) |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
5 eggs |
3 1/4 cups flour |
2 tablespoons butter pecan flavoring (we use superior brand imitation vanilla, butter and nut flavoring) |
1/2 cup butter (room temperature) |
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (room temperature) |
1 (16 ounce) box powdered sugar |
1 tablespoon butter pecan flavoring |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. For the cake:.
2. Mix all the ingredients together and pour into a greased, floured angel food cake pan or a greased bundt pan.
3. Place in COLD oven and turn heat to 325 degrees.
4. Bake for 1 hour and 40 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
5. For the frosting: ****.
6. Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth.
7. Add box of powdered sugar and beat well.
8. Add butter & nut flavoring and blend.
9. Stir in chopped pecans.

12. My mother always put the full batch of frosting on the cake. My aunt's recipe says to make 1/2 the frosting recipe for the cake. It is a personal preference. If you like alot of frosting; make the entire batch. If you don't like too much frosting cut the frosting recipe in half.
