¼ cup confectioners' sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons hot water

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
In a medium bowl, cream the butter, margarine and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla. Add the flour and mix until just blended. Do not overmix.
Roll dough into 1 inch balls. Place cookies 2 inches apart into prepared cookie sheets. Make a slight indentation in the center. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Cookies should be lightly browned. Cool slightly and frost the center of each cookie.
To make the icing, combine the confectioners' sugar, cocoa and vanilla in a small bowl. Stir in the hot water 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Provided by SUSAN FEILER

Categories Pound Cake

Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

3 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 ½ cups white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
4 eggs
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
1 cup white sugar
½ cup butter
¼ cup water
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup butter, 1 1/2 cups white sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream, mixing just until incorporated.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove cake from oven and immediately prick cake all over with a wooden pick 20 to 30 times. Pour butter sauce over cake. Allow cake to cool completely as cake is very fragile when warm. Run a knife around the edges of the pan and invert cooled cake onto a serving dish. Dust with powdered sugar.
To make the Butter Sauce: Heat 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup butter, 1/4 cup water and 1 tablespoon vanilla over medium heat until sugar dissolves, about 10 minutes. Do not boil.
