How to Make Butter Pecan Pound Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan (Bundt pan).
- Sprinkle the bottom of the pan with 1/4 cup powdered sugar.
- Evenly distribute 1 cup chopped pecans over the powdered sugar.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 4 minutes).
- Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan over the sugar and pecans.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving and enjoy!
