? ¾ cup of evaporated milk
? ½ cup of chopped pecans
Method:
? Preheat the oven to 350?.
? Grease and flour a 9x13-inch cake pan.
? In a large bowl, whisk flour, salt, and baking powder.
? Warm the butter and milk on the stove until the butter is melted and forms one mixture.
? Using a stand mixer or electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar together in a large bowl until golden and fluffy.
? Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the milk mixture and flour mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, a little of one, then a little of the other.
? When all ingredients are gently mixed and incorporated thoroughly, pour mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
? Take out the cake and set aside.
? Heat the broiler.
? In a medium bowl, make the topping by combining the melted butter, sugar, milk, and pecans.

? Serve warm for a delicious, vintage experience.
? You can store this cake at room temperature and reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven for three or four days.
All I Want to Do Is Dance with You
Starring Gloria and Wesley fromHaunted Hearts
“Feels like a lazy day,” Gloria stretched and yawned.
Wesley didn’t point out that for a ghost, days could always be lazy. That wasn’t the case in Pine Ridge. As his wife, in her corporeal form, rested against him, he looked at his phone.
This Wednesday, the book club would be at their house, as always.
Thursday and Friday, six women from the New York State Garden Social Club were staying the night and touring the White Pine Estates gardens.
Saturday, they had Chloe and Jared’s wedding, which was supposed to be a small, intimate affair that turned into a medium-intimate affair for one hundred and fifty, catered by Cakes for Claire and The Pine Loft Coffee Shop.
Sunday, Mr. Minegold was coming over for dinner and chess.
Monday, the Pine Ridge Chamber Orchestra was meeting with the new piano teacher at the elementary school. They were planning to do some concerto or other in the ballroom for a school fundraiser.
“Yes. Let’s have a lazy day.”
Gloria waited, biting her lip. “I don’t think you ever had a lazy day in your life, Wesley Creighton, not until your heart kicked your backside and put you in your place. Even then... You were raising a little hell, trying to battle a certain glamorous ghost, solve a cold case, and turn this place into a wedding venue. You know what the surgeon in Boston said. You’re a prime candidatefor the heart tissue regeneration trial, but you have to take care of yourself.”
“I eat like a rabbit on a health kick.”
“He didn’t mean just diet and exercise.”
