A favorite cake from Marie.

Ingredients:

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 cups self-rising flour
  • 2 sticks butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • Filling, below

Preparation:

Cream butter and sugar; add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Alternate additions of the self-rising flour and milk; beat thoroughly. Will make 4 layers. Bake at 350° in greased and floured pans, for about 30 minutes, until cake springs back when pressed lightly.

Filling

  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1 can evaporated milk (12 ounces)
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 tsp.vanilla
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
Cook sugar and cream (evaporated milk) together, stirring occasionally, until it reaches the soft ball stage, around 235 to 240° (10 to 15 minutes). Remove from heat. Add butter and beat until thickened and creamy. Spread on layers (wetting the knife makes spreading easier) and sprinkle nuts on each layer. Makes a very moist cake.

"Making the cake was a breeze!! The frosting would not turn out correct for me. I tried twice. I followed the instructions as printed. Am in the dark as to what I did incorrectly. Too bad because this is/was a recipe I very much wanted to succeed. Maybe I'll be able to locate a similar one and try my luck at it. Sorry, Marie!"
