    Recipe Introduction


    Posted by: krrispy****Pecan cake recipe in a coffee can
    This delectible Southern pecan cake recipe is baked in coffee
    cans.

    List of Ingredients




    Add a bow and give as a gift.
    1 3/4 c. shortening
    1 pound brown sugar {your choice of light or dark}
    6 eggs
    4 c. flour
    2 1/4 oz lemon extract
    1 tsp. baking powder
    4 c. coarsely chopped pecans
    1 {8 oz} bottle red maraschino cherries, chopped

    Recipe



    Cream shortening and brown sugar together until smooth. Add
    eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift dry
    ingredients into creamed mixture, alternating with cherry juice
    and lemon extract. Fold in well drained, chopped cherries.
    Pour into 4 well greased, 13 oz coffee cans {if they have paper
    labels make sure to remove them}; bake at 325 degrees for
    1 1/4 hours. Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes before
    removing from pans. Keeps for several weeks.

    Gift idea: Remove cakes from cans, allow to cool then put back
    in cans, place lid on top, add a bow.

    Note: Can also be baked in 2 {9x5x3 inch} loaf pans for 1 ½
    hours, or in a 10 inch tube pan for 2 hours.
