How to Make Butter Pecan Bundt Cake Marry Me Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Generously grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan. (Alternatively, spray with baking spray and dust with granulated sugar for easy release.)
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the pecans and buttermilk.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once completely cool, dust with powdered sugar (optional) and serve.
