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.
