Butter Pecan Pound Cake

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp baking powder

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

  5. Stir in the vanilla extract and toasted pecans.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 70-80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
