Butter Pecan Cake

Butter Pecan Cake

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.
