Butter & Nut Pound Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Cake
    3 cups sugar
    5 1/3 fluid ounces evaporated milk
    1/3 cup water
    1/2 cup Crisco
    1 cup butter (2 sticks)
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    5 eggs
    3 1/4 cups flour
    2 tablespoons butter pecan flavoring (we use Superior brand imitation vanilla, butter and nut flavoring)
    Frosting
    1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
    1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (room temperature)
    1 (16 ounce) box powdered sugar
    1 tablespoon butter pecan flavoring
    1/2 cup chopped pecans
Preparation
    For the cake:
    Mix all the ingredients together and pour into a greased, floured angel food cake pan or a greased bundt pan.
    Place in COLD oven and turn heat to 325 degrees.
    Bake for 1 hour and 40 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
    For the frosting: ****.
    Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth.
    Add box of powdered sugar and beat well.
    Add butter & nut flavoring and blend.
    Stir in chopped pecans.
    Spread on top of cake and let come down the sides.
    ****Note:
    My mother always put the full batch of frosting on the cake. My aunt's recipe says to make 1/2 the frosting recipe for the cake. It is a personal preference. If you like alot of frosting; make the entire batch. If you don't like too much frosting cut the frosting recipe in half.
