FRANKLIN NUT CAKE
From our ancestor in Boston, Cotton Mather, through Franklin, North Carolina to my family in South Carolina. Many family secrets were readily revealed, but the "Franklin Nut Cake" recipe was closely guarded by my mother.

Steps:
- Cream butter and sugar. Add beaten eggs and 3 cups flour with baking powder and salt added. Mix remaining 1 cup of flour with chopped nuts and chopped candied fruits. Mix into batter and add vanilla. Grease, flour, and line a large tube pan. Pour mixture into pan. Bake at 250 for 3 hours. Let cool for an hour. Remove from pan and place in a covered container with a glass of sherry, so the cake and wine "get to know each other". Let sit for 4 days until the sherry flavor permeates the cake. Slice thin.

SOUTHERN NUT CAKE
It's basically a Christmas Cake. There's no candied fruit- it's chock full of nuts. And it's drizzled with brandy....a big plus for a Christmas Cake. The only resemblance to fruit cake is the dough before baking- loaded with nuts and not much batter. A Maida Hatter recipe, adapted from Moveable Feasts.

Steps:
- Adjust oven rack 1/3 the way up from the bottom. Preheat oven to 325°. Butter a 10 by 4 inch tube pan (like an angel food cake pan). Line the bottom with wax or parchment paper. Butter the paper and dust all over with fine bread crumbs.
- Break or cut the nuts into large pieces. They should NOT be finely chopped. Place them in the largest bowl you have.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, mace and salt. Set aside. Combine the milk and brandy or bourbon. Set aside.
- In an electric mixer, cream the butter. Add the sugar and beat for a few minutes, scraping the bowl as necessary. On moderate speed, add the eggs one at a time, beating until thoroughly incorporated after each egg and scraping the bowl when necessary to keep everything well mixed. Increase speed and beat until light and fluffy- about 3 minutes. The batter may look curdled at this point- that's OK.
- On lowest speed alternately add the sifted dry ingredients in three additions with the milk mixture in two, scraping the bowl as necessary with the spatula and beating only until smooth after each addition.
- Pour the batter over the nuts. Stir with a large wooden spoon until the nuts are all coated with the batter. Turn into the prepared pan and level the top.
- Bake for 1 ¾ hours or until a cake tester comes out clean. Remove from the oven and place the cake pan on a rack. Generously sprinkle or brush the brandy or bourbon on top of the hot cake. Let cake cool in the pan for about 20 minutes.
- Cover the cake with a rack and invert to remove pan and paper. Cover with another rack and carefully invert again to cool. It's better if it sits for 24 hours before cutting.

SURPRISE NUT CAKE
This is an incredibly moist cake with a wonderful flavor. No, you cannot taste the prunes. I guess that's the "surprise" in the cake. I ran the prunes through my food processor and found this to be much easier than trying to finely chop them. When you pour the glaze over the cake the majority of it will gather in the middle and drip onto the plate. You can either keep spooning the glaze back on top or I find it's easier to use a pastry brush and keep brushing the glaze on the cake. This recipe comes from "Texas Blossoms" and purports to have won "best of show" at a Texas State Fair.
