Yield 12-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup butter, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
5 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup brandy
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon brandy
4 -5 teaspoons milk
pecan halves (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F Generously grease and sugar (Yes, I said SUGAR) a 10-inch tube pan. Pour amount of water in a 13x9 to come half way and place on bottom rack of oven. (This creates a steam in the oven and will make this dense cake really moist) Leave pan in oven during the cooking time as well.
  • Beat together butter and sugars in large bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in sour cream and brandy.
  • Sift together dry ingredients. Add to butter mixture, mixing until well blended. Stir in pecans. Pour into prepared pan, spreading evenly to edges.
  • Bake 65 to 70 minutes or until wooden toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. (Surface will appear slightly wet.)
  • Cool cake in pan on wire rack 10 minutes. Loosen edges and remove to rack to cool completely.
  • To Prepare Brandy Glaze, Heat butter in medium saucepan over medium heat until melted and golden brown; cool slightly.
  • Add powdered sugar, brandy and milk; beat until smooth.
  • Drizzle cake with Brandy Glaze. Garnish, if desired. Store tightly covered.
