How To Make Butter Pecan Pound Cake
Cream butter and sugar together until smooth(about 3-7 minutes)
slowly add eggs 1 at a time
add flavors
add flour and milk
starting with flour and ending with flour
stir in chopped pecans
pour in greased tube pan
Bake 325 Degrees for 1 hour 10 minutes. Check after 45 minutes. Mine was ready at 1 hour .
Insert a toothpick in the center of the cake and if the toothpick comes out with batter on it leave your cake in for the complete baking time.
The toothpick must come out clean.
Let cool in pan on wire rack for 20 mins. Then place on cake plate. Make sure to cover so cake won’t dry out. A tight-fit cake pan would be perfect.
