To quote mom when I asked her how much brown sugar and pecans to use: “I never measure either of these. After all, is there such a thing as too much brown sugar and pecans? If I had to guess on the brown sugar, Iā€™d say maybe 1/3 C packed – maybe more but probably not as much as 1/2 C. Sheesh! I donā€™t know. Lots is good.”

 

Bake 45 minutes at 325.

 

Icing

Bring all ingredients to boil. Boil 5 minutes only. Pour over warm cake.

Tips

This cake is also good served warm with whipped cream.
