    • ⚪ 1 cup white sugar
    • 🌾 3 cups all-purpose flour
    • ½ teaspoon baking powder
    • 🧈 1 cup butter
    • ½ cup shortening
    • 🥚 5 eggs
    • 🥛 1 cup milk

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.

2

Cream together butter, shortening, brown sugar, and 1 cup white sugar until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

3

Sift together 2 1/2 cups flour and baking powder. Gradually add this mixture alternately with milk into the creamed mixture. Toss chopped pecans with the remaining 1/2 cup flour and fold into the batter. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

4

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cake stand in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.

5

To make frosting: In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, white sugar, butter, and evaporated milk. Bring to a rolling boil and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and allow to cool. Beat frosting until thickened. Spread over cooled cake.
