`1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup crisco
1 1 pound box brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
3 cups plain flour " I use 3 1/2 cups cake flour"
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
5 eggs
1 cup chopped black walnuts
Cream together the butter, crisco,and sugars until very light, add eggs one at a time, sift dry ingredients and add alternately with milk and vanilla, beginning and ending with dry ingredients, add walnuts, mix well..bake in tube or Bundt pan 350 for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours
Caramel Icing
This is one of my Grandmothers recipes, it is no where as easy as some, but is very good, my Mother said she remembered Grandmother beating it with a spoon years ago, my arm would never hold out that long because it takes a LONG time even with a mixer!
Into a heavy saucepan,
4 cups brown sugar
10 Tablespoons cream
1 cup butter
Bring to a boil over med heat, stirring constantly, let boil two minutes stirring only occasionally, pour into mixer bowl and add
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
Beat until it starts to lighten in color and gets thick, this takes a long time, but once it starts to thicken, you better work fast or you have a bowl of fudge to eat!! ice cake, if too thick, stir in a little cream.
