°3 cups of cake flour
°2 cups of sugar
°1 cup packed brown sugar
°3 sticks of butter (room temperature)
°5 eggs (room temperature)
°1 c whole milk (at room temperature)
°1/2 teaspoon baking powder
°1/4 teaspoon salt
°1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
°1 tablespoon pound extract
°2 cups of roasted American nuts
thick snow
°2 cups of powdered sugar
°4 ounces of butter
°4 ounces of cream cheese
°4 teaspoons half and half
*Directions:
Cream the butter and sugar together until smooth (about 3-7 minutes).
Slowly add eggs 1 at a time
Add flavors
Add flour and milk (alternately)
Start with flour and end with flour
stir in chopped pecans
Pour into a greased tube bowl
Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Check out after 45 minutes. Mine was ready in 1 hour.
Place a toothpick in the center of the cake and if the toothpick comes out of the batter, leave the cake in it while baking.
Leave to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Then put it on a cake plate. Make sure to cover it so the cake doesn’t dry out. A snugly fitting cake pan will be perfect.
Enjoy !
