I am horrible at decorating cakes, which means that I am a huge fan of cupcakes. This recipes lends itself well to cupcakes. Soft and melts in your mouth. Make sure you add the pecans to the icing to make it a true Southern classic!

notes
Can make as a cake. Two 9 in cake pans (greased and floured) will take 20-30 minutes to bake.
