Decorate sides of cake with chopped pecans, if desired. Note: This recipe was taken from an old phamplet dated 1940, which featured Kate Smith's favorite Cakes. It was published by General Mills, and the pampHlet is falling apart! I am glad to be able to save these old recipes. For those who too young to remember, where

it calls for the use of a rotary mixer in these recipes, just use your electric mixer, or hand mixer as required.
