Famous Feud Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 c. fine ground pecans
6 eggs, separated
1 1/2 c. granulated sugar
2 1/2 Tbsp. plain flour

Preparation

Beat egg yolks (by hand) for 15 minutes, adding sugar gradually. Add flour and baking powder, sifted. Add the pecan meal. Beat egg whites until stiff. Fold in. Bake in 2 layers in a moderate oven preheated to 350\u00b0 for 30 minutes. Put layers together with 1 pint of whipped cream (I used almost a quart), sweetened and flavored with vanilla extract. Pile thick between layers, on sides and top. Sprinkle with ground pecans.
