Georgia Cornbread Cake

"This recipe comes courtesy of a 86 year old lady that has been cooking since she was 9 years old. The recipe has been in her family for many years. The ground pecans gives it a texture of cornbread, but there isn't any cornmeal in it. This cake is perfect for potlucks or to pack in lunchboxes."

  1. My mother in law made this cake for my husband as he was growing up. Since it's his favorite, I now make it all the time. I add cream cheese icing on top! Perfect icing match for this cake!!
     
  2. This is a southern classic..... Awesome and easy
     
  3. A cousin made this for a family reunion recently. She called her recipe "Georgia Cornbread', too. It was delicious... slightly sweet and different from any cake I'd ever had. She put walnuts in hers instead of the pecans, and dusted the top with powdered sugar. I'll be making it myself the next time we have a family get-together.
     
  4. Wondering why there was no cornmeal in the recipe? Maybe the people forgot to add it to the recipe??? I made my own self rising "wheat" flour, used 3XL eggs instead of 4, slightly sprayed 9x13 pan, sprinkled small amount of cornmeal in bottom, put in batter and topped w/cinnamon/sugar mixture then swirled through batter both horizontally and vertically. Turned out good.
     
  5. Good recipe! I baked my cake at a slower temp and a few mins longer and it came out great!
