@Matthew.Taylor - I think that is the most delicious looking Lady Baltimore cake I've ever seen.  Would you share the recipe?

 

 

 

 

Thank you very much! It feels good to hear that after that cake.

 

The cake didn't turn out to well, but this is the first time I've made a cake like this. Sadly, I believe I overbaked it, and made it somewhat dry. Plus the frosting collapsed while mixing so it wasn't as light as it should have been, and I needed to use Pam cooking spray to keep it from sticking to the spatula. Learn from my mistakes people! I will try this again sometime. I'll try to copy down the recipe, but you can find it in Nancie McDermott's book "Southern cakes." This is a GREAT Book for any cake maker. There's a recipe for a coffee cake in their that my family still loves even after all the years we've had the book.

The Pecans I decorated it with came from here.
