How To Make Texas Cowboy Cake

 Test Kitchen Tips

If using an oversized loaf pan, you can make 2 loaves using 4 1/2 cups of batter in each. If using regular loaf pans, this recipe will make 3 loaves using 3 cups of batter in each pan.

• 
  1Combine the first eight ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a low boil while stirring continually.
• 
  2Reduce heat and let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove to cool.
• 
  3Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
• 
  4Once cooled to lukewarm, slowly stir the liquid spice/fruit mixture into the dry ingredients.
• 
  5Fold in chopped pecans.
• 
  6Pour into two large well-greased loaf pans. Arrange pecan halves in a decorative pattern on the top of the loaves.
• 
  7Bake 1 hour at 300 degrees.
• 
  8With a brush, gently apply a coat of corn syrup over the cakes. (A few tablespoons of bourbon or rum may be added to the corn syrup.)
• 
  9Continue baking for one hour, or until a toothpick come out of the cakes cleanly. Cool. For an adult dessert, a few tablespoons of bourbon or rum can be poured on each slice prior to serving.
