Pecan Cake

SERVES: 12

COOK TIME: 40 Min

The South is certainly known for many things, and pecans are near the top of that list. Toss a generous dose of them into this Pecan Cake and you'll know why this is one of our best Bundt recipes!

What You'll Need

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3 eggs
2 cups self-rising flour
1 cup crushed cinnamon-flavored graham crackers (see Option)
1 cup orange juice
1 cup chopped toasted pecans
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
4 teaspoons milk
1/2 cup pecan halves

What to Do

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 10-inch Bundt pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, beat butter at medium speed of an electric beater until creamy. Gradually add brown sugar, beating well. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
Add flour, cracker crumbs, and orange juice; beat at low speed until blended. Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans then pour batter into pan.
Bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. (Cake will not rise to top of pan.) Cool in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes; remove cake from pan, and let cool completely on wire rack.
In a small bowl, stir together confectioners' sugar and milk; drizzle over cooled cake, and sprinkle with 1/2 cup pecan halves.

Option

Cinnamon-flavored graham crackers enrich this cake with homespun flavor, but don't worry if you don't have the cinnamon variety; just use the plain ones and stir 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon in with the flour.

A little late but for future references. You can use reg flour (what recipe calls for) 1cup self rising = 1cup reg flour+ 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder+ 1/4 teaspoon salt.
