-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups dark brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup shortening
5 eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup pecans, chopped
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Cream together 1cup butter or margarine, shortening, brown sugar, and 1 cup white sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Sift 2 1/2 cups flour and baking powder. Add alternately with milk to the creamed mixture. Stir 1/2 cup flour with nuts, and fold into the batter. Pour into greased and floured 10 inch tube pan.
Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 90 minutes; start checking at one hour for doneness. Let stand in pan 10 minutes, and then turn out.
Make Frosting:
In a small saucepan, beat 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup white sugar, butter or margarine, and milk together. Bring to a rolling boil, and cook for one minute. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla. Cool. Beat until thickened. This icing is thinner than conventional frostings. Add a little milk if it too thick. Spread on cake.
