Ultimate Pecan Pie and Strawberry Cake

Jane and Michael Stern have found the pinnacle of pecan pie at the Texas Pie Company in Kyle, TX.  Don’t miss the endearingly sweet and moist strawberry cake either, if they have any available the day you’re there.  The Sterns talk about these and more during their recent visit with Lynne Rossetto Kasper on her radio show called The Splendid Table.  You can still hear their segment, or the entire show, online.

The photo of strawberry cake above is from the Roadfood.com review of the Texas Pie Company.  About that cake, Michael says: “Although the name of the place is the Texas PIE Company, this square of strawberry cake with strawberry frosting won my heart. The moistness of the cake cannot be exaggerated and while it is sweet indeed, the berry nature of the sweetness sang through loud and clear.”
