Old Fashioned Bourbon Pecan Cake image

This is the kind of cake my mother or grandmother kept in a tin and "seasoned" it with Bourbon or Apricot Brandy to keep this pound cake Moist! Then after saving it she would offer it to special guests. This is a traditional British Christmas Cake! Bourbon, or orange juice or Brandy is essential for keeping this pound cake...
