BROWN SUGAR PECAN CAKE



Brown Sugar Pecan Cake image

My great-aunt was famous in our family for her cooking. She lived in Kentucky and made a cake like this one many times during my childhood. I found a similar recipe years later, changing it a bit to use what I had on hand. The added crunch of the pecans gives it a little southern flair that she would have loved. -Lisa Varner, El Paso, Texas
