Directions: |
Directions:Grease & flour two 9" cake pans. Preheat oven to 350º. Using mixer, mix all cake ingredients BUT NUTS, until well blended. Add nuts & mix again. Pour evenly into the cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes - depending on oven. Let cake cool completely before icing. To prepare icing: Stir softened cream cheese & butter, until well blended. Stir in vanilla, then start adding and stirring powdered sugar slowly until desired consistency to spread on cake. (One box of powdered sugar seems to be too runny, so you will probably need more) Lastly, fold in nuts. After the cake is baked & iced, place it in a covered cake taker, & put it in freezer for about 45 mins. so the icing will set up properly. It is then okay to leave it covered out on the countertop for 2-3 days without refrigeration. |

Notes: Judy notes: "I always took this cake to Russell, (my husband's) annual family reunion. Every time his relatives saw me at the reunion, they would make a beeline to see if I brought that hickory nut cake. I also heard comments from people I didn't know well, 'is that hickory nut cake?' And, some of them would get a plate & go first to that cake instead of the food line, to make sure they got a piece before it was gone! I even saw one relative, who was a little late getting the cake, take the knife and rake as much off the empty plate as she could, to get a little bite. I often wondered if it would matter if I came to the reunion at all, as long as I sent the hickory nut cake! (Be sure to use HICKORY NUTS, as they are the key to the distinctiveness of this cake.)"
