How to Make Cinnamon Pecan Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar at medium speed for 3-4 minutes, until light and fluffy.
  3. Reduce speed to low and gradually add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Beat in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients and milk alternately to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the chopped pecans.
  8. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (Start checking at 50 minutes).
  10. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
