Pecan Bundt Cake

3 sticks butter, softened
2 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
5 eggs, separated
3 1/4 cups sifted all purpose floor
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 cup light cream or milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 cups finely chopped pecans, plus pecan halves to garnish

Grease and flour a 12 cup bundt pan. With an electric mixer beat butter until fluffy. Gradually add sugar. Beat until very light and fluffy. In a bowl, beat yolks for 5 minutes, until thick; fold into sugar mixture.

Sift baking powder, flour and salt onto waxed paper; alternately add to yolk mixture with cream and vanilla. Fold in pecans. In a large bowl, beat egg whites until they form stiff but not dry peaks. Fold into batter; spread into prepared pan.

Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until cracked slightly. Cool cake in pan. Remove from pan; spoon on sugar glaze. Top with pecan halves.

Sugar Glaze:
Combine one cup confectioners sugar and 1 tsp. vanilla in a small bowl. Add about 5 tsp. milk to make a thick, pouring consistency.

I love inspirational quotes and sayings.

They are often short and always

powerful nuggets of wisdom.

Whenever I read them,

I am inspired to take action.

Concern should drive us into action and
not into depression.
~ Karen Horney

Today stretches before you, an unknown quantity.
Concerns may crowd upon you, but guidance
regarding the best action to take is
always available to you.
~ Unknown

There is nothing wrong with centering on yourself.
Nuture the maturing person within and
then reach out.
