3/4 c. butter
1 1/2 c. sugar
3 eggs, well beaten
3 c. all purpose flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 c. milk
Juice and rind of 1 lemon
1 c. chopped pecans

Cream butter until light; add sugar gradually. Beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs and blend well. Sift dry ingredients together, and add alternately with milk to creamed mixture. Mix until blended, and add lemon juice and rind and stir until mixed. Generously butter a 10 inch tube pan. Cover well the bottom and sides with chopped pecans, and pour in batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Turn onto rack. When it has cooled a little, pour over it 1 cup honey to which has been added 1 tesapoon rum flavoring. (Pouring slowly so as to soak in better.)
