My state is known for the delicious pecans it produces, so this recipe definitely represents Georgia. The pecan flavor comes through nicely in this cake. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
2-1/4 cups packed brown sugar |
1 cup sugar |
5 eggs |
3 teaspoons vanilla extract |
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup milk |
1 cup finely chopped pecans |
confectioners' sugar |
fresh fruit, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk. Beat on low speed just until blended. Fold in pecans.
2. Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. tube pan. Bake at 325° for 1-1/2 hours or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve with fruit if desired. Yield: 16 servings.
