My cousins were my first friends and the ones I call now with good or bad news. They are the people I want to celebrate holidays, weddings, and births. They are the ones that help me get through hard times. Branches from the same tree, our roots run deep. They are also the ones I turn to when I need a new recipe.
With a blog and weekly newspaper article, sometimes I struggle for a new recipe. There are weeks when every new recipe I test is horrible! Then some weeks are just crazy busy when I do not touch a pot or pan for days! That’s when my cousins come through for me and give me a recipe that I have completely forgotten about or that they have made over and over and I trust will be wonderful.
This weeks recipe is compliments of my cousin, Nancy, who got the recipe from my cousin, Lori. This Butter Pecan cake was incredibly easy and delicious. This cake begins with a cake mix and with the addition of pecan coconut frosting, and a few other ingredients, the cake is super moist. This recipe makes two loaves, and they freeze well.
- 1 box Butter Pecan cake mix
- 1 container Pecan Coconut Frosting
- 4 lg. eggs
- 1 c. milk
- ½ c. vegetable oil
- ¼ c. chopped pecans
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Grease and flour two loaf pans, set aside.
- Using an electric mixer on low, combine the cake mix, frosting, egg, milk, and oil until blended. Add the pecans and beat for 2 minutes on medium speed.
- Pour into prepared loaf pans and bake in preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack. Remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack.
I made this for my family and I didn’t even get a piece. Needless to say they loved it!!
Great! I’m glad that they enjoyed it!
