TEXAS PECAN CAKE
Can't decide between Mama's Pecan Pie recipe and Grandma's Icebox Fruitcake this holiday season? Don't fret. The Lonestar State has your back. Meet our Texas Pecan Cake, a simple recipe that guarantees pecan fans will leave the feast satisfied. This pound-cake-meets-fruit-cake confection combines both worlds to create the ultimate holiday treat. In true Texas style, this recipe goes big with the state's official nut, calling for 2 cups of chopped pecans. Pecan lovers will be pleased when they're served a slice that's studded with nuts inside and out. If you want to take this rich, dense dessert to the next level, consider adding a glaze. Or, for an easier addition, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. If it's just too much to finish (especially after a holiday feast), you can cover and eat on the leftovers for up to three days.

TEXAS CANDY CAKE
Not your grandmother's fruit cake.... Even people who hate fruit cake love this.... The two-week "setting period" is a must.... Keeps up to or beyond a month in an air-tight container, in the refrigerator.

TEXAS PECAN PRALINES
My pecan praline recipe is special to me for I received it from my mother, who was an excellent cook! I also am a Texas Aggie Mom and I use pecans from a South Texas Aggie grower that our Aggie Mom's club has purchased from for many years. The quality is outstanding and far better than you will find in any grocery store. -Carol Jones, Blue Ridge, Texas

TEXAS PECAN CANDY CAKE
This cake should be made at least two weeks ahead to allow the flavors to blend. Hint: I cheat and use the date pieces coated with sugar (instead of regular pitted dates), just taking off most of the sugar by rubbing them in my hands.
