Ruby's Coffee Cake

Ruby was a sweet breakfast cook at the Theta House at Indiana University. I loved seeing her bright smile in the morning and she loved making coffee cake for us. She was so loving to share her recipe!

Cream together well:
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/3 stick of butter
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
pinch of salt

Mix in:
4 cups flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 can evaporated milk ( 2 cups milk)

Mix topping separately:

1 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup pecans
1 cup brown sugar

Frosting:
1/2 stick butter melted
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
