Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 13- by 9-inch pan.
- For the filling: In a medium bowl, stir together the pecans, brown sugar and cinnamon until nicely combined and the pecans are fully coated.
- For the glaze: In a second medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice and milk until all the sugar is fully incorporated and there are no lumps. Set the glaze to the side.
- For the cake: Into a large bowl, add the cake mix, sour cream, vegetable oil, sugar, 1/4 cup water, flour and eggs. Using an electric mixer, beat the ingredients until fully combined, about 4 minutes. Pour about half of the batter into the prepared pan. Spread the pecan filling on top and swirl into the batter. Pour the next half of the batter over and spread to make an even layer.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, place on a cooling rack and let cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Then invert the cake onto a plate or platter, and let cool completely.
- Whisk the glaze a bit to make sure it's still smooth and then drizzle all over the cake. Let the glaze set a bit and serve!
SPICED PECANS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Spray a sheet pan with the cooking spray or brush it lightly with oil.
- Place the egg white in a large bowl and whisk vigorously for 15 seconds, until light and frothy. Whisk in the brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, chile powder, cloves, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the pecans and mix well, until thoroughly coated. Pour the mixture, including any liquid, onto the prepared pan and spread in a single layer. Bake for 30 minutes, tossing twice with a metal spatula. Each time you toss the pecans, spread them out again in one layer. When they're done, sprinkle with fleur de sel and allow to cool completely; they will crisp as they cool. Serve at room temperature.

BUSY DAY CAKE
I got this recipe from an old book which belonged to my grandmother. She was the best in baking cakes, I would say! I loved her chocolate cakes with those chocolate fudge frostings....This is one of a cake which is very quick and requires only the basics. This is great after a family dinner just whenever you need! Enjoy!

SPICED PECAN CAKE WITH PECAN FROSTING
This is a Paul Prudhomme's recipe. I love his recipes and when I went to his restaurant,I loved the food. My husband loves pecans in his baked goods. I will make this cake on Wednesday for his birthday. Don't let the long recipe discourage you,read it through and you'll realize it's not really difficult. I sometimes omit the...

Steps:
- 1. Place the pecans in a large ungreased roasting pan and roast at 425 degrees for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. In a medium-size bowl combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Then mix in the 4 tablespoons butter. Add the roasted pecans to the butter mixture and coat them thoroughly. Return mixture to pan and roast for 10 minutes more, stirring once or twice. Stir in 2 tablespoons vanilla and roast 5 minutes more. Remove from oven and set aside. In large bowl of electric mixer cream the 1 1/2 sticks butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar on high speed until very light and fluffy, about 6 to 8 minutes. In a separate bowl sift together the flour and baking powder. In a third bowl combine the milk and the remaining 2 teaspoons vanilla. Add the flour mixture and milk mixture alternately to the butter mixture, beating on high speed until well blended and scraping the bowl sides between additions. Stir in the pecans. In a separate bowl whip the egg whites on high speed until frothy, about 30 seconds. Add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and continue beating until mixture is stiff and holds peaks, about 2 minutes. Gently fold egg whites into the batter, a third at a time. Spoon batter into 3 greased and lightly floured 8-inch round cake pans (1 1/2 inches deep). Spread batter so it is slightly lower in the center (since it peaks in the center during cooking). Bake at 350 degrees F until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes, then carefully remove from pans and place on a wire rack; cool thoroughly. Brush glaze over top of each cake layer with a pastry brush, a little at a time, then spread generously with frosting between layers and on top and sides.
- 2. Frosting: Combine the granulated sugar and water in a 1-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat to 230 degrees F (soft-thread stage), about 15 minutes; do not stir. In a large bowl of an electric mixer beat the egg yolks on high speed just slightly, about 5 seconds. Gradually add the hot syrup and beat until thoroughly cooled, thick, shiny, and very pale, about 10 minutes. (Start at low speed so it won't splash and then go to high speed). If crystallized sugar builds up around the sides of the bowl, don't scrape it into mixture; it will make the frosting lumpy, and you will have plenty of frosting without it. Gradually add the margarine and mix on medium speed until completely blended and very smooth, about 5 minutes. Blend in the powdered sugar and vanilla on low speed until smooth; then add the pecans and beat on high speed until thoroughly mixed and very thick. If frosting is too thick, thin with a little cream, milk, or water. ***It's best to use margarine rather than butter in this frosting because butter tends to melt out of the frosting as the cake sits awhile.
BUSY DAY CAKE
I got this recipe from the Fanny Farmer Cookbook - years and years ago. It is the first cake I ever learned to make. I believe the first time I made it I was about 10 years old. I also taught my boys how to make this when they were 8 and 10. It's very easy. Tasty enough, but the frosting is what adds the most flavor. I use the store bought frosting on it. Very simple to make and like the title says - it's great for a dessert on a busy day!

- Add milk and vanilla. Mix well.
- Put in a greased 9x9 pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees until done. (toothpick inserted comes out clean). Start checking at 20 minutes. I haven't made this in a while, so I'm not sure. If it looks done enough to check with the toothpick at 20 minutes, then by all means, check it. It may take up to 30 minutes to bake.

SPICED PECAN CAKE WITH PECAN ICING
This cake is a lot of work !!! But it is well worth it for that special occasion! Although I found this in the March, 1984 issue of Bon Appetit, when it first came out, but it REALLY comes from Paul Prudhomme's first cookbook, the one that started the whole international Cajun cooking craze. Regardless of quoted times, this takes all day to make, on and off.

So simple, so good! Have tried several different combinations of spices, but keep coming back to this one. I use only pecans, but mixed nuts would be fine.
