So easy!!! This would be a great treat to munch on while discussing the book Zeitoun, by Dave Eggers. It is about Hurricane Katrina and how good people were treated so horribly. The fact that it is a true story makes it even more memorable. This cake is so yummy it will make you talk with a Cajun accent! Also good for a Fat Tuesday party or if the New Orleans Saints ever get in the Super Bowl again.
1 package butter pecan cake mix (yippee - so easy!)
1 container coconut pecan frosting (double yippee)
4 eggs
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 350. Spray Bundt pan (or 13x9 pan)
Mix cake mix, frosting (wierd, but effective), eggs, oil , water and half of pecans. Sprinkle the rest of the pecans in the bottom of the pan (save for the top if using 13x9). Pour in batter. Bake for 50 minutes (about 35 for 13x9) until a toothpick or knife comes out clean. Turn over after cooling for about 15 minutes. So sweet it doesn't really need a glaze.
