Makes one 10-inch tube cake • From Martha Snell, First Baptist Church of White Springs, Florida
Directions
Grease and flour a tube pan. Heat the oven to 300°F.
Cream the butter, cream cheese and sugar.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each one.
Add the vanilla, flour and baking powder.
Fold in the nuts.
Bake at 300°F for 1½ hours, until a toothpick comes out clean and the cake pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Kitchen Notes
Have the butter, cream cheese and eggs at room temperature.
Toss the pecans with a spoonful of the flour so they don’t settle at the bottom.
Start checking at 1 hour 25 minutes. And use all four cups of pecans.
