Directions:
This recipe can be doubled and baked in two 8 inch pans, or one 9x13
pan.
Preheat the oven to 3350F. Butter an 8 or 9 inch round or square
baking pan; dust with flour, tapping out the excess, and set aside.
Into a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the
butter. With a pastry blender, 2 knives or your fingers, work the
mixture to form fine crumbs. Remove 1/2 cup of the crumbs; add the
pecans and set aside. To the crumbs remaining in the bowl, add the
baking powder and baking soda, then beat in the buttermilk, vanilla,
and egg just until blended. The batter with not be smooth, so do not
overbeat. Spread the batter in the pan. Sprinkle evenly with the
crumbs that you set aside. Bake until the cake shrinks from the sides
of the pan and the crubms are golden, 40-45 minutes. Cool the cake in
the pan on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes one
8 or 9 inch cake.
