1 ts White vinegar

1 1/2 c Sugar

1 ts Soda

1 c Buttermilk

2 lg Eggs

1 ts Unsweetened cocoa

1 ts Vanilla

1 1/2 c Cooking oil

1/4 c Red food coloring; 2 bottles

-----frosting----- 1/3 lb Butter; softened

1 lb Powdered sugar

10 oz Cream cheese; softened

2 c Nuts; finely chopped

Mix all cake ingredients together at medium speed in a mixer until well blended. Pour into 3 prepared 9" cake pans. Bake at 350~F for approximately 20 minutes. FROSTING: Beat first three ingredients together until fluffy. Fold in 1 1/2 cups pecans, reserving 1/2 cup to decorate the top of the cake. Frost cooled cake layers, then decorate the top. W.S. didn't say, but walnuts would also work fine. Chill cake one hour or more before serving. -----
