This is one of those
“Drop what you’re doing and make this now!” recipes
Seriously
It is worth every calorie…
Oh, and it’s dangerously easy to make too!
You might even have all the ingredients!
First saute your pecans in butter and brown sugar
These buttery pecans are wonderful in green salads,
mixed in with chicken salad or pimiento cheese,
or for just snacking 😋
Make the batter by mixing the eggs, brown sugar, white sugar, and oil
Then add flour and vanilla and stir in chopped pecans
Pour it into a greased 9″ x 13″ baking dish
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes
Let cake cool for 10 minutes
While cake is cooling, make cream cheese icing
Beat cream cheese and butter together,
then add powdered sugar, vanilla and 3-4 Tablespoons of milk
Poke holes all over the top of cake and spread glaze over warm cake
Top with pecan halves
Let cake cool completely (if you can!) before serving
