3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup pecans, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups margarine or sweet butter,softened
2 cups firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
5 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Recipe
Do not preheat the oven. Grease and flour a 12-cup tube pan.
Sift 3 cups of the flour and baking powder together. Set aside
In a small bowl, toss the nuts with the remaining 1/4 cup flour. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the margarine and dark brown and granulated sugars and beat on low speed until creamy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Alternately add the sifted dry ingredients and milk. Mix well. Beat in the vanilla. Gently fold in the floured nuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and set the oven temperature to 325º. Bake for 1 hour and 25 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
Just before you take the cake from the oven, in a microwavable bowl, put 1/2 stick butter, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup water and 3 TBS bourbon Whiskey. heat and mix up well, heat in microwave (or you can use a saucepan and use the stove) until just comes to a boil, then remove. While it is hot, take the cake from the oven. Loosen the sides of the cake but do not remove from the pan. Slowly pour the sauce all over the cake. Loosen the sides of the cake again with a butter knife to let it all seep down.
Cool cake IN the tube pan. When cooled, loosen and remove. The cake will have a crunchy sugar crust...a very tasty crunchy sugar crust!!
