You might be skeptical of the vinegar and vegetable shortening that this recipe calls for, but it's the key to making flaky pie crust from scratch.

Double the crust = double the yum 🍓🍰😍

This Pecan Pie Cake tastes just like pecan pie but in cake form. I think it tastes even better than pecan pie. It’s made from a box of butter pecan cake mix with lots of butter, brown sugar, and eggs added. If you can’t find a box of butter pecan cake mix, use […]

In all honesty, the origin of this cake is simply that I cannot make a go of a lemon meringue pie.
