Being Dead is No Excuse
Recipe Introduction
No Greenville native of a certain age will ever forget the pleasure of biting into a piece of Lowery's Fudge cake. It was sold exclusively at the old Lowery's Motel. We still remember how it was cut into squares and neatly wrapped in wax paper. After the Lowery ladies died and the motel restaurant became but a fond memory, custody of the fudge-cake recipe was passed to another lady of the church. It still arrives for the reception in perfect squares, wrapped in the traditional wax paper, though now the ladies of the Pastoral Care Committee unwarp it and arrange it on a silver tray. It never lasts long.
List of Ingredients
2 sticks of butter
4 squares semisweet chocolate
1 3/4 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 cup flour, sifted
pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans
Recipe
Preheat oven to 300F. Melt the butter and chocolate together. Add the sugar, Stir until melted. Cool slightly. With a wooden spoon, mix in the eggs, one at a time. Fold in flour and salt. Add vanilla and chopped pecans.
Some people like alot of vanilla and a lot of nuts. I suggested 1 tsp vanilla and 1 cup chopped nuts. Sometimes more is better, Mies.
Pour the mixture into a buttered 9X11 inch pan. Bake for about 40 minutes. Start testing at 30-35 minutes. To be a purist, your straw for testing should come straight from the broom.
