American Coffee Cake

Note: This recipe comes from the inside box top of a pound of Jelke's Good Luck Margarine.

3/4 cup GOOD LUCK Margarine
1 1/3 cups sugar
3 eggs, unbeaten
3 cups sifted all purpose flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
Grated rind of one lemon
1 cup milk
3/4 cup pecans

Cream GOOD LUCK and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat mixture well after each addition. Combine ingredients and sift three times. Add lemon rind to milk. Add dry ingredients and liquids alternately, a small amount at a time, to the creamed mixture. Blend well. Sprinkle nuts in the bottom of an angel cake pan which has been well-greased. Pour batter over nutmeats. Bake in moderate oven (325 degrees) until done - approximately 60 minutes. Turn upside down on a plate. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Yield: 1 medium sized loaf.
