june's out if this world pecan cake
(1 rating)
This cake is a southern family recipe going back 2 generations. My good friend June would come over and share this cake with me over a cup of tea and we would share our passions and love for food. June is a green thumb and also a "cordon bleu". I have been very fortunate to have her as my friend. I cherish her. This cake takes time to make since every pecan is shelled fresh from the trees of South Carolina. For some reasons that I have not yet found this cakes gives me "Deja-Vue" of maple flavors even without the maple. Who'd figure? June enriches my life with her friendship and cake too.
