I’m so glad to hear you pronounce pecans the same way we do!
I enjoy reading your posts everyday and continue to pray for you.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that, Kathleen!
Amen…..we don’t have ‘P-Cans” at my house either….love this recipe….God bless.
Ok I get your meaning…BUT I still would scream for my husband to come KILL it!
Fair enough 🙂
Now that I know what they are called, I can handle some of those woolyboogers in my life.
I say pecan the same way, and I am going to make this to send in to work as soon as I can get the ingredients!
I enjoy your posts, and feel that you are being a real inspiration as you deal with your current “adventure”
Thank you so much, Trina! Please report back how work likes it! they sure are lucky to know you!
i would have screamed to!!
Looking forward to making this pecan pie cake. Was planning on trying a new recipe for pecan pie muffins, just changed my mind and will make your cake instead. Sounds better and easier and I;m in a lazy mood today.
Let me know how you like it! and if you get to wanting those pecan pie muffins, here is a link to my tried and true recipe! https://www.southernplate.com/2008/10/pecan-pie-muffins.html
This looks sinfully good and I will make it, but will reserve it for a special occasion due to the price of pecans. I think a bag to make these would be at least $5.99 here and walnuts are not much more economical. I have to admit I am quite sparing with them.
I understand COMPLETELY! You can actually use the same substitute here that I do in the Faux Pecan Pie recipe I developed. I’d double it https://www.southernplate.com/2011/11/faux-pecan-pie.html
Oh my….cant wait to get off this low carb diet and try this delectable pecan pie cake, which will be right in time for Thanksgiving!! Another thing to thank Jesus for!!
Wow – that looks YUM!
(And you pronounce “pecans” like we do also 😉 )
