Comments: This recipe

came to me from an Author friend. The

original recipe called for a yellow cake mix.

I decided to change it to a butter pecan mix. It also called for milk in the glaze which I

changed to the evaporated milk giving it an even richer flavor. I couldn't wait for the cake to cool

completely so I sliced it while still warm.

The taste of this was like eating a nice hot donut! All of my food testers made the same

comment. This is one cake that is hard

to stop eating. And there are so many

possibilities! You can change the cake

mix to just about any flavor you want... chocolate, carrot, even strawberry or

lemon. For some of these I would

eliminate the cinnamon (strawberry & lemon) but that would be up to you and

your taste buds. This is a fun cake to

make and eat.
