SOUTHERN PECAN CAKE
Because pecan trees are such an iconic symbol in Texas, this recipe is a classic in any Southern home. I remember eating this cake as a baby, even picking the pecans myself from the trees in my grandmother's backyard. When I chose to enter it in at the County Fair, my grandmother gave her coveted recipe secrets to me. And, now, this award-winning cake can be enjoyed in your home, too!

Tips:
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats for a heartier texture. Quick-cooking oats will make the cake too soft.
- Toast the oats before using to enhance their flavor.
- Use light brown sugar for a richer flavor than white sugar.
- Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, autumnal flavor.
- Chop the pecans finely so they distribute evenly throughout the cake.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the cake.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help the frosting set properly.
- Serve the cake with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or ice cream.
