Chewey Cake

This is a very old Dixon family favorite, passed on to me from Aunt Deb from the recipe from Granny Dixon. It's called Chewy (or chewey) cake, but it's not really a true cake. The consistency is much like brownies. Very delicious!

1 box (1 lb) dark brown sugar
1/4 lb butter
Mix the above by beating.

Gradually add 3 eggs - beat after each egg.

Add: 2 cups self rising flour
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup or more nuts (pecans)

Spread in 9x13 pan - bake at 325 degrees for about 35 minutes till firm and brown.
Allow to cool before cutting into squares.
