A Recipe - Georgia Pecan Cake

This is the most delicious cake I've had in a long time. It is like a regular pound cake with a hint of lemon and pecans sprinkled throughout--absolutely delicious! Especially if you love pound cake, lemon, and pecans. =D

1 c. butter, softened
2 c. sugar
4 eggs
1 t. vanilla extract
½ t. lemon extract
3 c. flour
¾ t. salt
½ t. b.powder
½ t. b.soda
1 c. buttermilk
1 c. chopped pecans

1.) In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in extracts.
2.) Combine the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda; set ¼ c. aside. Add the remaining flour mixture to the creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk. Toss pecans with the reserved flour mixture; fold into batter.
3.) Pour into a greased and floured 10-in tube pan. Bake at 325* for 60-70 min or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
4.) Cool for 10min before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.

Let me know if you try it and what you think, k? =D

A verse I read today that jumped out at me:
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation.
-Psalm 51:12

I'm off to bury my head in history. *sigh*
The Ottomans were the first to use ultra heavy guns. One super cannon was 27 feet long. Its barrel was almost 3 feet in diameter with sides 8 inches thick. It could shoot a 1300 pound ball.
That is one massive cannon--I think I'd like to stay on their good side, wow.

Oh, are the dates for my posts showing up for you? Cause they aren't working on my end and I have no idea why.

In Christ,

Miss Emily, that sounds like a marvelous recipe! Except I don't like pecans. ;) Lol, looks good though, but wow I can't believe you have to bake it for 60-70 minutes! That's a great verse!! :) And no the dates for the posts aren't showing up on my side of the country either... But I use Chrome so I can try it on Firefox and see. Hold on...
Nope not on Firefox either. :/ Wonder what's up???

Sounds delicious!

I use windows 7 and Chrome and they aren't showing up for me either...hmm...

Ins't that verse thought provoking? Read the other verses around it too. My pastor preaches a series of sermons on that passage at the beginning of the year and they were very refreshing and motivational.

Blessings!

The dates aren't showing up for me either...

Mmm, that looks AH-mazing! I l-o-v-e pound cake, pecans, & lemons- so I'm pretty sure I'd scarf up that cake!
Your posts weren't showing up on my dashboard, either! And I can't believe I wasn't following this blog before! Seriously, I was sure I'd been following it!
Your expand/collapse menu? It's so cool how the paper seems to be underneath- when I scroll, the frames and words move, but not the paper. Awesome! ;) I like stuff like that.
Same as everyone else; the dates don't show up for me...

Love,
Guin

May - You don't like pecans?! Poor you. I suppose you could make the cake without the pecans. Isn't it surprising how long you have to bake it! I was shocked when I read that for the first time, but then again the temperature is very low. =)

Näna - I read the whole chapter, it is wonderful! That verse just jumped out the most to me. =D

Guin - I know you've commented before, so you must have followed. Blogger does strange things sometimes...=P

Thanks everyone for letting me know the dates aren't showing up. Sometime I'll get around to figuring out the problem...

Oh, and if anyone tries the cake recipe--do let me know how you like it! =D
