Gramma Jones Steamed Pecan Cake

This is another of Katherine Dobson Jones apron recipes. These were made every Christmas and were an absolute favorite of my father and the rest of us. After Gramma could no longer cook, the lack was keenly felt until I was able to translate her recipe jargon into success. Lessons learned include that one must use cake flour and the meaning of such measures as a scosch.
