To Kill A Mockingbird - Lane Cake
Hi everyone!
Thanks so much for tuning in!
I re-read the classic book, To Kill A Mockingbird and it was suggested that I try doing the Lane Cake.
While researching this old time recipe I discovered that it was originally created by Emma Rylander Lane of Clayton, Alabama. It is also known as Prize Cake. Most of the recipes I found have a filling that is mainly made up of egg yolks, sugar, bourbon and raisins. But it also seems as though everyone has their own version of the filling so I thought I would tweak it a little to suit my taste. :-)
I happen to be a big pecan pie fan so I wanted to filling to reflect that flavor more so I went with a filling that was more caramel than custardy.
So I hope you give it a try and enjoy!
