This is an old recipe that has been in our family forever. At this point, I’m not sure where it came from or who made it first but it is easy, rich, moist, delicious and goes wonderfully with a hot cup of coffee.

1/2 c. chopped nuts (we prefer pecans)
Bake at 350° for 30 to 40 minutes or until done in the middle.

“Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”
