EVERYONE asks for this recipe after they taste it! (Karin requested a recipe like this one a while ago. She could just substitute pecans for the walnuts in this recipe, if she likes.)

Anyway, I thought I'd share it with all of you, 'cause I just KNOW you're gonna love it! :)


BROWN SUGAR POUND CAKE

1 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening
1 pound light brown sugar
1 cup sugar
5 eggs
3 cups sifted flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup chopped walnuts
Walnut Glaze

Beat together butter and shortening; gradually add sugars, creaming until mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time.

Sift together dry ingredients; add alternately with milk and vanilla to the creamed mixture. Stir in walnuts. Pour batter into greased and floured 10' tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until done. Cool on rack 10 minutes, then remove from pan. Place on rack over a piece of waxed paper. Pour Walnut Glaze over the hot cake. If icing falls onto the waxed paper, scoop it up and put it back on the cake.

Walnut Glaze: Cream 1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar and 2 Tbsp. butter. Add 6 Tbsp. cream, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. Blend well.


ENJOY!!!
