This takes just minutes to put together. It is absolutely delicious and it stays moist. (I like to freeze one loaf for later)

Ingredients
  • Topping:
  • 1/2 cup of butter
  • 1/3 cup of sugar
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

  • Batter:
  • 1 cup of butter
  • 2 cups of sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla
  • 2 2/3 cups of sifted flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt

Directions
  1. Topping: Mix ingredients and pat into bottom and sides of two heavily greased loaf pans. (more butter the better it sticks)
  2. Batter: Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat well.
  3. Impossible to overbeat at this point.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beat well with each addition.
  5. Mix vanilla and milk together and add to butter mixture alternately with the flour and other dry ingredients starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
  6. Pour into prepared loaf pans.
  7. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 1 to 1 and 1/4 hours.
  8. Turn out on cake rack and cool.
  9. Freezes easily.

Sounds delicious!!! I like the idea of being able to freeze one for future use. Great post.


Yummy - love the vanilla wafer addition on the topping...hope to try this one soon!


Mmmmm! Sounds wonderful. I definately bookmarked this one.


This sounds really good.... another good recipe to try...... thanks..


Sounds delish! And I also like the idea of being able to freeze one for later...thanks for posting.


Okay, I had some storebought lemon cookies that were just so-so in flavor, so I pulverized them in the food processor and used some lemon zest and coated the loafpans with that. We have to see how they look out of the oven. I may have just ruined the whole thing, or I could be lucky and have a new tasty treat.


Don't try a mediocre cookie for the crunch topping, it is not a good substitute. Stick with the vanilla wafers. They hold up well in the baking, the lemon cookies became mushy. Live and learn. (The cake itself it good, not crunchy. I think I'll get some lemon curd and serve a dollop on each slice with some whipped cream. There, my crisis is fixed.


I love cake but not fond of frosting...I'm gonna try this with the gingersnaps...Thanks



Well, I just pulled these cakes out of the oven about 30 minutes ago. Verdict: Absolutely delicious!!! The cake itself is wonderfully moist, and the outer crust is like a shell...crunchy and sweet.
Even though it did not need it, we put a dollup of Extra Creamy Cool Whip on each slice and it was sinful!! (Although heavy whipping cream would certainly have been better since it's a real dairy food)
This is a HIT in our home. I highly recommend baking this recipe!
Thanks for sharing...
=)


Wow the cake looks yummy.


Wow this sounds and looks so yummie, I must make this one right after Easter as I've given up sweets for Lent. Can hardly wait to make this one, thanks for the great post. You got my 5
